IDF prepares 'significant' retaliatory strike to Iran's missile barrage

The IDF on Saturday commented regarding the retaliation against Iran for launching ballistic missiles toward Israel, clarifying that combat is currently ongoing on seven different fronts. Alongside the continued fighting in Gaza and the West Bank, Israeli soldiers and forces are engaged in operations in Lebanon, Iran, and its proxies in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq.

The struggle with Iran is viewed as a direct conflict, and it is expected that the Iranians will be preoccupied with their own affairs rather than just with their proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, Yemen, and Iraq.

The IDF plans to respond significantly but has not detailed the nature of that response. The IDF noted that the Iranians launched 201 missiles from Iran to Israel, some of which impacted targets.

Consequently, there is a broad recommendation within the IDF to respond to the Iranian attack while minimizing risks and maximizing opportunities.

Inside Israel’s secret 20-year plan to strike Iran: Advanced weapons unveiled​

From long-range missiles to bunker-busting bombs, Israel has spent decades and billions developing specialized munitions for a possible attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Over recent decades, Israel’s defense establishment has invested billions in preparing for a potential strike on Iran, developing specialized munitions along the way. Some of these capabilities were only revealed after being sold to foreign air forces. Here’s what can be disclosed amidst these preparations.

Iran’s nuclear facilities and ballistic missile bases are deeply embedded underground, in contrast to less-protected targets like oil terminals. Additionally, Iran operates an advanced air defense system, primarily domestically developed. According to their claims, yet to be tested, this system matches the capabilities of Russian systems like the S-300, which can intercept missiles launched by Israel. However, the Israeli-attributed strike on Isfahan after Iran’s April attack was not intercepted by these advanced defenses. Iran also maintains an outdated fleet, including Russian MiG-29s and American F-14s from the Shah’s era, which continue to operate despite international sanctions.

In light of these challenges, Israel’s defense forces have spent 20 years preparing for a possible strike on Iran, investing billions of dollars and shekels. This investment includes developing specialized munitions, some of which even the US declined to sell to Israel, as well as innovations not available to the US.


Interesting article. I'd like to know what they have weapon-wise that isn't reported here or otherwise known. I guess we might find out soon.

The S300 air defense system isn't anywhere near state-of-the art though it is quite capable. If Israeli Air Forces are going to be spending any amount of time over Iran, it's very likely that Israel will first destroy at least parts of the Iranian Air Defense System so that they can own the sky over Iran.
That's the million dollar question i'd be interested in finding out, especially how Israel is bragging that they have barely shown 10% of their capabiltiies
 
Retired Israeli Brigadier General Amir Avivi told ABC News today, that the upcoming Israeli 🇮🇱 Response to Iran’s 🇮🇷 latest Ballistic Missile 🚀 Attack will be “FIERCE, STRONG 💪 and VERY SURPRISING."

He also said that it would be marking the beginning of a WAR which is expected to last “MANY MONTHS.”

”We have a HISTORICAL opportunity to DEAL with Iran 🇮🇷 so that they DO NOT POSE ANOTHER THREAT to Israel." 🇮🇱 (this sounds like more than just a retaliation attack. This implies something HUGE)

Keep in mind that this is Just his opinion.

BUT... Also Keep in mind that Avivi knows what he's talking about, as most of his predictions since October 7th turned out to be true as he has some inside info too.

What did he predict?
The Gaza ground offensive, the offensive into Rafah, the Philadelphi corridor capture, the South Lebanon ground offensive etc.

He was talking about these operations WEEKS BEFORE they kicked off.

Get the popcorn 🍿 ready


Looks like the stakes just got even higher after the drone attack on Netanyahu's home on Saturday morning.

According to Israel's Channel 14; Israel 🇮🇱 could attack much more than the Oil Facilities, Nuclear Sites, Military Bases and Government Buildings.

The HOMES 🏠 of Senior IRANIAN 🇮🇷 OFFICIALS have likely been added to the potential Target 🎯 List for the Israeli Retaliatory Strike.

For example, If Israel assassinates Ali Khamenei, I can't even imagine the insane response that Iran 🇮🇷 would launch 🚀 upon Israel 🇮🇱

Israel 🇮🇱 definitely has some major surprises in their attack arsenal. And WHEN the SURPRISE is unveiled, it will no doubt surprise the entire world 🌍

This week has started off slowly, but it could end up being a VERY big week before it’s all said and done

I think we've already seen the max that Iran is capable of doing, and each time it'll take them a long while to reload, except after Israel gets through with them they might be able to send a pair of drones west towards Israel...

Yep should be very interesting Rose
 
The Iranian Foreign Ministry: "We have warned the International Atomic Energy Agency about Israel's threats to attack our nuclear sites - we will respond strongly to any Israeli attack on Iranian soil."

 
Israel is now expected to launch a "MAJOR MILITARY OPERATION within the next 2-6 days" 🚨 (looking like a Sunday night attack scenario, IF the next 2 days go by without any fanfare)

Prime Minister Netanyahu's Office: In the meeting with Secretary of State Blinken, the issue of the Iranian 🇮🇷 threat and the need for the 2 countries of Israel 🇮🇱 and the USA 🇺🇸 to join forces against Iran 🇮🇷 was raised.

Prime Minister Netanyahu is now holding consultations with several ministers in the Kirya bunker in Tel Aviv.

Israel appears to be getting ready respond to Iran in the few days.

The BRICS summit in Russia began today and continues until Thursday. Does Israel dare to do the attack on Iran during these meetings?

 
Israel appears to be getting ready respond to Iran in the few days.

The first wave could come from submarine missiles and could strike critical infrastructure. Then give Iran some time to ready their launchers for a new missile barrage and then come in and take those out along with some of their air defense system. 3rd wave could be the nuke sites, and 4th wave could be leadership and more critical infrastructure.
 
Western intelligence sources estimate that Israel will attack Iran before November 5.

When the attack on Iran occurs, this domino will quickly set the avalanche of further prophecies rolling, and no doubt it could quickly lead to the Ezekiel War. - According to Ezekiel 39:6, Russia itself will also be devastated by terrible hailstorms and terrible destruction will be caused. This will force Russia to give up its political supremacy in the world. - I assume that the Ezekiel War will happen after the Rapture, but before the Tribulation, and it will not last long because God Himself will intervene. Will it lead to the Antichrist establishing the peace treaty? I would imagine that - if the nations are " disabled" after the Ezekiel war, they can push their agenda through all the faster.
 
Will the Elam prophecy mentioned in Jeremiah 49:34-37 kick off in the next few days, or will this be Israel’s 1st major attack on Iran. Taking out Military targets only?

The big concern is the Bushehr nuclear ☢️ reactors. Bushehr 1 is fully operational and is producing record amounts of nuclear power. Bushehr 2 and 3 are nearing completion.

The concern in Iran with the upcoming Israeli strike is the BUSHEHR nuclear ☢️ reactors in ELAM territory.

It could suffer a catastrophic meltdown if this reactor would be struck by an Israeli 🚀 missile.

**To add to the possibility of Elam prophecy coming to pass..

The majority of Iran’s IRGC missile and military bases are located in the Elam area of Iran 🇮🇷 and so are the majority of Iran’s Naval Bases and fighter jet ✈️ bases.

There’s a LOT of military hardware and hypersonic missiles that are being stored throughout this area of Iran, known as Biblical Elam, as well as nuclear reactors.

There are so many variables at play for what might or might not happen.

Either way, it’s just a matter of time ⏰ before some insanity starts unfolding.

 
The more I look at this, the more I can envision 2 waves of strikes on Iran. First to take out air defense. 2nd to take out the loaded hypersonic missiles that Iran has promised to retaliate with ASAP.

“Israel has prepared quite a FEW SURPRISES for Iran,” said Brigadier General Amir Avivi, a senior Israeli insider and a close friend and Neighbor of none other than Benjamin Netanyahu. “There will be a BIG ATTACK, but (it will be) 1 of MANY."

The targets for Israel’s retaliation to Tehran’s ballistic missile attack on Oct 1 have yet to be disclosed (part of the Israeli surprise).

Avivi said what Israel chooses to strike is not of importance because that’s just THE BEGINNING and not a means to an end.

He warned that Israel’s endgame is to ensure that Iran 🇮🇷 does NOT become a NUCLEAR ☢️ power.
“Israel has prepared quite a few surprises for Iran."

OR, This Israeli attack on Iran may extend for 8-12 hours, coming in waves of Israeli bombings, as Israel’s response may be more than Iran 🇮🇷 bargained for.

 
Kann News: “Israeli officials: Israel is on the verge of attacking Iran 🇮🇷 despite American pressure on the issue.”

Today is still the CALM before the STORM that is getting ready to make landfall.

Israeli Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant said while speaking to Pilots and Airmen of the Israeli Air Force earlier today at Hatzerim Airbase, “After we strike in IRAN, everyone will understand what you did in the Preparation and Training Process.

Everyone who dreamed a year ago of beating us and attacking us, paid a Heavy Price and is no longer in that Dream.”

 
As we wait for Israel’s expected retaliation against Iran 🇮🇷 it’s definitely worth looking at the next few days.

The Hamas terror attack that started the war occurred on 10/7. BUT, in the Hebrew calendar, that day was the holiday of Shemini Atzeret.

This year, that holiday begins Wednesday night 10/23 and goes until Thursday night 10/24. (NOW)

An Israeli attack in the next few days will allow Israel to claim to close a circle from the attack one year ago (on the Hebrew calendar).

I wouldn’t think Israel 🇮🇱 would time a response to line up with an anniversary like this, but this sort of symbolism is easy political points for Netanyahu who goes after easy political points.

And since Israel is ready, the time is imminent.

The fireworks 💥 might begin as soon as sunset Thursday or ANY TIME going forward starting tomorrow night.

 
Iran is definitely trying to taunt Israel into action.

Authorities in Iran 🇮🇷 released a blood-splattered mural depicting photos of Israeli hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 with the text “NO hostages will be released” in Hebrew, Iran International and local media reported.

The mural was put up in Tehran’s Palestine Square on Tuesday, according to Tehran Times.

Austin: Israel Should Only Strike ‘Military Targets’, Not Iranian Nuclear, Oil Sites​

During an interview with the Fox News Channel that took place on Tuesday and was released on Wednesday on the “Fox News Rundown” podcast “Evening Edition,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin responded to a question on whether he and President Joe Biden urged Israel to avoid striking Iran’s nuclear sites or oil facilities and why those sites and/or facilities shouldn’t be hit by stating that Israel will ultimately decide what they do and do not strike, but, in his view, he believes that “if you’re conducting a military strike, it ought to be against military targets.”

Fox News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin asked, “Did you and President Biden encourage the Israelis not to strike Iran’s nuclear sites or oil facilities? Why not strike those targets?”

Austin answered, “Jen, whatever Iran chooses to do in its targeting is going to be — excuse me, Israel chooses to do in its targeting is going to be their choice. And — but, from my perspective, I think if you’re conducting a military strike, it ought to be against military targets.”


I guess the US SecDef doesn't understand that energy generation targets are legitimate military targets because the enemy needs that energy to prosecute a war. The nuke sites are prime legit targets on account of they can be and are the basis from which nuclear weapons will be created. It's not surprising that the US SecDef is an imbecile when it comes to matters of war.
 
Why do I get the feeling that after such a long time passing since Israel was attacked by Iran, their highly anticipated response will fizzle out like their last response to Iran? Why is Israel waiting so long? Surely they had hundreds of targets pre coordinated for an immediate response after Irans attack.

Strike now and hit them hard BiBi.
