Emergency Civil Defense Plans in Israel: Iran to Strike IDF Communications Systems and Targets Across the Country


Emergency Civil Defense Plans in Israel: Iran to Strike IDF Communications Systems and Targets Across the Country – Iranian Forces in Lebanon
Evangelos L.


Emergency civil defense plans began to be implemented in Israel in anticipation of an attack by Iran and Hezbollah.

According to what is reported from Israeli territory, citizens have received a series of warnings from the competent authorities.

One of the emergency measures concerns the prohibition of large gatherings of people either indoors or outdoors for fear of multiple victims from a possible attack.

The shelters (which are almost everywhere in the populated areas of Israel) have already been opened, while the citizens have started stocking up with generators en masse, as it is very likely that Israeli cities will be without power for hours!

The IDF Home Front Command designates radio stations for emergency broadcasts in the event of a major attack on Israel this weekend.

Religious Israelis can leave their radios on, the stations will not broadcast any programs except for incoming missile alerts.


Russian and Iranian accounts claim that Iran deployed Russian Murmansk BN electronic warfare systems to multiple locations across the country for fear of an Israeli counterattack.

Murmanshk BN is capable of sharing enemy position data to all Command and Control Centers of the Iranian Army.

The system consists of a generator, four 32-meter antennas, seven KamAz trucks, a Command and Control center and is also capable of conducting jamming at distances of up to 5,000 kilometers.

Israel is preparing for a scenario involving an Iranian missile attack significantly larger than the one in April.

According to the Israeli media, Israel Hayom, the assessment is that the attack will include attempts to disable communication systems in Israel.

Israel believes Iran's axis plans to attack from all directions to evade and saturate its air defenses. Cruise missiles and drones can strike through Egyptian airspace or the Mediterranean.

According to Western sources, Arab officials said they have sent warnings to Iran on behalf of Israel and the US that Israel is ready to go to war if Hezbollah and Iran respond too "aggressively".

Iranian officials have said they understand the risk, but that Khamenei is under internal pressure from hardliners to respond.

The countries' efforts to persuade Iran not to escalate have been fruitless given Israel's recent attacks, an Iranian diplomat told the WSJ

"Israel crossed all the red lines. Our response will be quick and heavy" , added the diplomat

An Israeli official told CBS News that this time Israel expects "more aggressive" retaliation, which could even go beyond Israeli territory and target Israeli assets abroad.
