Israel is not playing games and I seriously doubt that this exercise and the upcoming June home front exercise is an attempt to scare Iran. Israel is anticipating serious regional war and expecting it soon.
These two exercises are the final preparations for taking out Iran and then simultaneously fighting Syria, the Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Hamas in the Gaza strip. Unless the US intervenes (and I hope Obama does not) Israel likely won't end the fight once Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas promises to be nice. They are going to completely destroy the threat.
It is hard to say whether Israel will choose to strike during the day or in the night. Each strategy has advantages and disadvantages. However, sometime in the next three months, expect to wake up to the morning news or hear at night that Israel has wiped out both the Iranian Air Force and Iran's nuclear capabilities. Expect this to be a quick war -- no more than a week or two.
Make no mistake about it: What Israel will do will shock the world. Sometime thereafter, expect a new leader, quite likely from Turkey, to offer a peace plan between Israel and the Islamic states.
Israel Air Force squadrons took part in a large scale drill simulating war on all fronts over the past four days, Channel 10 reported Thursday.
Fighter jets, cargo planes and missile defense systems of the corps took part in the drill where defense from a simultaneous attack against Israel from the south and the north was simulated.
Unlike previous drills, the air force did not train on long-range sorties, such as those that would be carried out during an offensive targeting Iran's nuclear facilities; the drill this past week focused on defending the country.
During the exercise, the scenario included war against Hamas in the South and war against both Hizbullah and Syria in the North.
In early June, the Israeli home front will be practiced in the most far-reaching rehearsal for an emergency rocket attack ever carried out. All Israelis will be instructed to enter secure spaces and sirens will sound out throughout the country.
