Recently, The Washington Post examined the aftermath of Iran’s Operation True Promise, a retaliatory attack against Israel for targeting its consulate in Damascus. The report poses the question, “Is Israel prepared for another direct attack from Iran?”
After four months, tensions remain high as Iran threatens a forceful response to the assassination of Haniyeh, leaving Israel increasingly isolated in the region. Military analysts suggest this isolation could make Israel more vulnerable to future attacks.
Concerns also arise about the effectiveness of Israel’s aerial defense systems in countering a potential coordinated assault. neighboring countries like Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt have expressed reluctance to participate in a military axis against Iran.
Israeli officials worry that Iran’s next attack could be sudden, larger in scale, and involve allies in Iraq, Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon. Hezbollah’s use of explosive drones in Lebanon has already proven to be a significant threat.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has vowed a strong and impactful response. As tensions escalate, the region braces for the possibility of further conflict.
