Israel Approves Multi-Front Battle Plans as the Nation Prepares for ‘Axis of Evil’ Attack

(Worthy News) – As Israel entered into Tisha B’Av, commemorating the destruction of the first and second Temples, the nation’s military leaders approved multi-front battle plans in response to the potential threat of an attack from Iran and its Middle Eastern proxies.

Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that Israel has recently strengthened its defenses in anticipation of a possible attack from Iran and Hezbollah.

Additionally, Gallant stated that Israel is preparing for potential retaliatory or preemptive strikes if necessary.

At a meeting of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Gallant remarked, “We are in the days of vigilance and readiness. The threats from Tehran and Beirut may materialize and it is important to explain to everyone that readiness, preparedness, and vigilance are not synonyms for fear and panic.”

“In recent days, we have been devoting our time both to strengthening defenses and to creating offensive options in response, and also as an initiative if required, anywhere and in any region, with the main goal being the protection of the citizens of the State of Israel,” Gallant added.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi conducted an assessment and approved battle plans for “the various fronts” in a meeting attended by key military figures. Participants included the IDF deputy chief of staff, the heads of the Intelligence and Operations directorates, the head of the Northern Command, the head of the Air Force, the head of the Home Front Command, and other top officers.

The meeting was conducted on the eve of Tisha B’Av—a Jewish day of mourning commemorating the destruction of the two biblical temples set to begin Monday evening—occurred amid speculation that Iran might choose this significant day for its promised attack on Israel.

This speculation was further heightened by a report from Fox News on Monday, which cited regional sources claiming that Iran was poised to launch an attack on Israel within the next 24 hours.
