The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are continuing preparations for a potential renewal of hostilities with Iran, including scenarios involving attacks on the home front, which has absorbed hundreds of missiles in recent rounds of conflict. Military correspondent Yinon Shalom joined a drill conducted by the Home Front Command's Rescue Brigade, which is training for scenarios involving fragmentation warheads and other difficult possibilities.
Following the "Roaring Lion" operation, the IDF began preparing for the next campaign, operating under the assumption that it will differ from previous ones. Just as drone threats emerged suddenly and became a significant factor in the last campaign, the military understands that attempts may be made to strike with new means, possibly in the upcoming war.
The Home Front Command was fully activated for the first time during the recent "Northern Arrows" operation, requiring round-the-clock work and stretching resources to their limit. Since then, a new battalion, "Ari," has been established and has already engaged in combat with terrorists in its first week. Additionally, the "Ma'aleh" center was created to consolidate all organizational knowledge and training in one place.
The IDF, and particularly the Home Front Command, recognizes that there will be no time for recovery in the next campaign and emphasizes the need for preparedness while there is still time.
