The occupation army accelerates its preparations for the possibility of a "surprise war" on 3 fronts

Israeli media outlets reported today, Thursday, that the Israeli occupation army is accelerating its preparations for the possible outbreak of what it described as a "surprise war" on 3 fronts: Iran, Lebanon, and the occupied West Bank.

For some time, Israel has been threatening to wage a new war on Iran and carry out extensive attacks in Lebanon, while Israeli ministers are inciting the resumption of the genocide war in Gaza, amid ongoing escalation in the occupied West Bank.

The commander of the Central Command in the Israeli army, Avi Blot, considered yesterday, Wednesday, that Tel Aviv must prepare for a "surprise war" and "maintain a high level of readiness."

The Israeli Channel 12 private channel said that "in light of the events in Iran, the Israeli army is accelerating its preparations for the possible outbreak of a surprise war on 3 main fronts: Iran, Lebanon, and the West Bank."

It indicated that this comes within a multi-year plan extending until 2030, led by Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, and includes, among other things, a major expansion of the Israeli army's activities and presence in outer space.

It added that the Chief of Staff "pointed to two main axes in the multi-year plan, namely caring for individuals and engaging in the field of outer space," and the Israeli army defines space as a dimension for developing defensive, offensive, and intelligence capabilities.

The channel indicated that the outlines of the plan are beginning to emerge after about two years of fierce fighting, and as part of it, alongside working on setting the plan, there is a process of preparing for war, even for the possibility of executing a surprise operation, with Iran at the forefront of this operation.

It claimed that Tel Aviv fears that Tehran will respond to the internal demonstrations in Iran by attacking Israel to prevent the fall of the regime, according to its claim.

According to the channel, "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conducted discussions and consultations yesterday, Wednesday, from Miami (in the United States, which he has been visiting for several days) regarding the protests in Iran."

It said that the Prime Minister's office refuses to comment specifically on what is happening in Iran, fearing that any statement from Netanyahu or a senior state official would push Iran to act against Israel to silence the protests.

It quoted a high-ranking Israeli official - whom it did not name - as saying "We are monitoring a serious internal event in Iran. It is premature to know its consequences."

Since Sunday, Iranian cities, including the capital Tehran, have witnessed protests in which thousands of people participated due to rising foreign currency prices and deteriorating economic conditions.

Before these protests, Israel had been waving for weeks its intention to wage a new war with Iran and launch a "wide attack" against what it claims are Hezbollah sites in Lebanon if Beirut fails to disarm the party before the end of 2025.

In June last year, Israel, with American support, waged a war on Iran that lasted 12 days, and Tehran responded with missile attacks, before the United States announced a ceasefire.

Both Israel and Iran consider each other their arch enemy, and they have exchanged accusations for years of responsibility for sabotage acts and cyber attacks.
