- Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that any Iranian attack would face a "crushing" response.
- Military officials said Israel's post-October 7 policy rejects passive deterrence.
- Intelligence assessments indicate Iran could initiate a broader confrontation.
The 'Israeli' military is in a state of full readiness across both offensive and defensive operational sectors for a potential return to combat with Iran, official Arabic language spokesperson Ella Waweya stated on Thursday night.
Speaking in an interview with Al-Arabiya, Waweya emphasized that military policy has fundamentally shifted regarding threat response and strategic posture.
"We do not wait for missiles to fall or for the enemy to knock on our door before getting ready," Waweya stated, noting that "October 7th taught the most important lesson: policies of containment, waiting for the first strike, or relying on passive deterrence are no longer acceptable."
'Crushing blow'
The spokesperson's remarks followed a high-level security consultation convened by Defense Minister 'Israel' Katz, alongside senior leadership overseeing 'Israeli' offensive capabilities, air defense networks, military intelligence, and home front readiness.
Following the meeting, Defense Minister Katz warned Tehran against initiating direct military actions against 'Israel'.
"We are preparing for every possibility. If Iran attacks 'Israel', it will suffer a crushing blow," Katz said.
Alleged intelligence alerts
While defense officials did not clarify whether the high-level security meeting was triggered by a specific intelligence alert, reports indicate heightened vigilance across all regional sectors.
Assessments among Western intelligence agencies indicate that Iran may seek to draw 'Israel' into a wider military confrontation and could potentially elect to initiate action first, prompting 'Israeli' forces to maintain active readiness.
