Israel is on high alert for a potential attack on Iran, with Israeli defense officials believing any conflict will be protracted. This assessment contrasts with U.S. President Donald Trump's reported desire for a short campaign. The heightened readiness comes as security officials anticipate that a direct confrontation with Iran would almost certainly trigger a secondary front with Hezbollah.
While there is no need for undue alarm, preparations are underway to counter threats from drones, unmanned aerial vehicles, and rocket fire from the north. The escalating tensions are occurring against the backdrop of Israel's internal political complexities and political developments in the United States, placing decision-makers at a critical juncture.
