According to reports from international news agencies, retired General Ran Kochav, a former commander of the air defense system in the Israeli army, acknowledged that a war with Iran is no ‘walk in the park’ and could inflict serious damage and pain on Israel. He emphasized the complexity of such a conflict, cautioning against simplistic approaches.Kochav noted that Iranian forces have already caused damage, and similar outcomes are anticipated in future confrontations, which could lead to significant complications for Israel.In an interview with Israel’s Channel 13, he expressed frustration over the regime’s constant state of readiness and the anticipation surrounding decisions from former President Trump, describing it as extremely taxing. Maintaining a 24\/7 readiness for an extended period poses ‘a real challenge.’Kochav also acknowledged existing gaps within the protective system and the home front, explaining that these deficiencies translate to a lack of shelters and protected rooms. He pointed out that the ‘latest audit report’ highlights these shortages.He further indicated that there are shortages in interceptor missiles stating ‘Even in the next round while we have a good and perhaps very good air defense system it is not complete.’ Kochav characterized the war as ‘complex’ suggesting that Israel may face threats from Hezbollah in Lebanon and possibly Yemen asserting that the air defense system will require further strengthening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
