The Israeli Air Force (IAF) is the world’s highest air force in terms of maintaining combat readiness, and in addition to year-round air strikes against Iranian forces in Syria, it also performs a variety of missions, including bombing military targets of Palestinian Hamas, Jehad and other forces in the event of an attack on Israel, in addition to the IAF’s year-round activities over the Mediterranean and Lebanon, after an IAF F-35I stealth fighter jet in Lebanon The Israeli Air Force’s F-35I stealth fighter jet was previously photographed over Lebanon in what was believed to be a deliberate show of force to deter Iran’s proxy Hezbollah forces.
The latest news shows that the IAF fighters suddenly became quiet, all turned off their transponders, used encrypted mode, and operated in silent mode, and judging from subsequent observations, it does not appear that the IAF conducted any airstrikes, and indeed, even an airstrike on Iranian forces in Syria, unless it was an airstrike on an Iranian base in the Syrian hinterland, in the Abu Kamal area near the Iraqi border F-35I would maintain radio silence, the IAF’s warplanes would rarely all be in silent mode.
If there are no large-scale military exercises (highly unlikely, silence has passed for several days, and there is no official word from the IAF), then there is only one explanation left, the IAF is deterring potential enemies, most likely Hezbollah forces, after Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said in an interview that he was preparing to strike Iran’s proxy Hezbollah forces, who have hundreds of thousands of rockets, many of which have been deployed to civilian areas close to the Israeli border.
Recently, the biggest flashpoint about Israel is that the Israeli side has threatened to act alone to disrupt Iran’s nuclear program through military action to ensure that Iran will never build a nuclear weapon, for which the U.S. side, in addition to sending senior generals to appease the U.S. military’s B-52 strategic bombers deployed to the Middle East this Time, were escorted by Israeli F-15 fighters as they flew through Israeli airspace. But there is always a fear on the Israeli side that if the U.S. side fails to ensure that Iran permanently abandons its nuclear program, Israel will only have peace of mind if it takes matters into its own hands and solves the problem once and for all.
In response to the Israeli side’s threats, Iran has also made counter threats, declaring that any attack on its nuclear facilities would turn the two Israeli cities of Haifa and Tel Aviv into a sea of fire! Obviously, Iran’s ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and Drones alone are not capable of doing this, or even causing massive damage to these two cities, as Israel has the world’s tightest anti-aircraft and anti-missile network; but not so with Hezbollah in Lebanon, whose hundreds of thousands of rockets, even if only a few thousand break through interception and land on Israeli cities, would be enough to cause massive damage.
According to the Israeli side’s strategy, can the maximum deterrent effect be achieved by keeping the operation without publishing any official information, the powerful Israeli air force suddenly goes into silent mode, whether it is Iranian forces in Syria or Hezbollah forces, Palestinian Hamas, etc., will feel nervous, not knowing when the bombs will fall on their heads, and strong deterrence leads to not dare to act easily, in addition, the Lebanese government is also affected by this In addition, the Lebanese government is affected by the need to control Hezbollah forces in order to avoid an Israeli invasion in the event of an attack.
The Lebanese government has a major headache with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah forces, which it knows are a troublemaker but is too “civilized” to act, not to mention the fact that Hezbollah, backed by Iran, also has a great deal of influence in Lebanon and would 100% drag the entire country down with it in the event of a major conflict with Israel. The IAF just concluded the “Rose of Galilee” military exercise, which tested its ability to conduct high-intensity strikes with new weapons, munitions and command systems, claiming that it could attack 3,000 targets in a day. Who else in Israel’s neighborhood, besides Iranian forces and their allies in Syria, deserves such a high intensity strike by the Israeli Air Force?
