“Israel to ready public for ‘all-out war’”
By YAAKOV KATZ
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “With Iran racing toward nuclear power and IDF preparations for the possibility of a conflict with Syria and Hizbullah in high gear, the Home Front Command plans to launch a publicity campaign to prepare the public for war.
Within a few weeks it intends to inform the public about what people need to do in the event of attack.
The campaign was not connected to a specific event or threat but was meant to brace the public for war in general, senior IDF officers said.
“Our job is to prepare for an all-out war,” Col. Hilik Sofer, head of the Home Front Command Population Division, told The Jerusalem Post Wednesday. “We prepare for a wide range of possibilities since it doesn’t make a difference where the threat comes from.”
Several weeks ago, the Home Front Command distributed pamphlets in Netivot and Ashkelon explaining how to behave during a Kassam attack. Both cities are within 15 kilometers of the Gaza Strip.
The IDF has deployed early warning systems outside Netivot and Ashkelon. They have not been activated, pending government approval.”
