Israeli report: Al-Radwan Force will occupy settlements and bases of the Israeli “army”.
Under the title “Hezbollah’s Price – The Deadliest War of All Wars,” the Israeli Calcalist website published a report on the price of the war that “Israel” will bear against Hezbollah, which will be more destructive and bloody than anyone in “Israel” imagined, according to the report. , which is the conclusion of research that began about three years ago, at the Institute for Counter-Terrorism Policy at Reichmann University, at the end of which a report was developed, titled “Facing the Challenges of the Battlefront and Winning the Battle,” which “depicts, in chilling detail, what it will look like.” In fact, the battle is on multiple arenas inside Israel,” according to the website.
The research, which consists of 130 pages, was prepared by six thinking teams, composed of 100 “terrorism experts,” former senior officials in the Israeli military and security institutions, academics, and government and administration figures. They examined crucial aspects related to the readiness of the Israeli army and the home front for a multi-arena war. .
The most prominent participants in this report were Reserve Major General Aharon Zeevi-Farkash (formerly head of Aman); Reserve Major General Ishaq Brik (former Commander of Military Colleges); Two former heads of the National Emergency Authority, reserve jurists Zeev Zuk Ram and Bezalel Traiber; Reserve Colonel Eren Makov, former commander of the Northern Sector of the Home Front Command; Haim Tom, former head of the Mossad’s Intelligence and Foreign Relations Division; Former Minister of Justice Dan Meridor.
These researchers were headed by Professor Boaz Ganor, who is “a world leader in the field of terrorism research in academia. About 30 years ago he founded the Counterterrorism Policy Institute, and last September he was appointed the fourth president of the Reichmann University,” according to Calcalist.
During the months and weeks preceding the October 7 attack, Ganor presented this report to the relevant authorities in the army and the political leadership in “Israel,” in an attempt to alert the security services and decision makers to the lethargy and wrong idea to which they held, “but he did not succeed.” “, according to Calcalist.
Ganor pointed out that he presented the report to Israeli officials during 40 meetings, including former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant; former head of the National Security Agency, Eyal Hulata; Aman Chairman Aharon Haliva; Former Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi (in a meeting that lasted 4 and a half hours), and others.
Ganor added that the report also reached Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the head of the National Security Agency, Tzachi Hanegbi, and the Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevy, but no meeting with them took place, even though “we requested that.”
Ganor’s words stand out in his statement that several weeks before the outbreak of war in the south, the report was presented to a general in the Israeli “army”, whose name was not revealed (it is likely that he was the head of security), in the presence of his assistants, in a meeting that lasted approximately an hour and a half, but he ” He came out of this meeting more anxious than he was before.”
It was also noteworthy that, according to Calcalist, only the report was published as the product of five thinking teams, because the part prepared by the sixth thinking team, which examined the aspects related to an Israeli preventive attack, to remove threats that pose a danger to it, is the only part of the report that “ Its details were prohibited from being published.”
Content of the report
The research presented by Ganor stated, “A multi-stage war will open from the north with intense and destructive missile fire from Hezbollah to almost everywhere, throughout Israel. The range will be enormous, 2,500 to 3,000 launches per day, and will include (non-existent) rocket shells.” Accurate) and long-range precision missiles.
From time to time, “Hezbollah will launch massive salvoes in the direction of one specific area: an important base for the Israeli army or a city in Gush Dan, towards which hundreds of rockets will be directed in a single day. The launches will continue day after day, until the last day of The war occurred approximately three weeks after its outbreak.
According to Ganor, in addition to the massive destruction, which Israel has never witnessed before, “thousands of casualties are expected on the front and internally, which will lead to a state of popular panic.”
In the research, Ganor pointed out that one of the main goals of launching towards “Israel” would be to “undermine the Israeli army’s air defense system, as precision munitions and low-flying aircraft pieces, such as drones, helicopters and cruise missiles, will cause material damage and destroy dome batteries.” Iron Dome, so that the pace of fire will put Israeli technology facing unprecedented challenges. The reserve of interceptor missiles for the Iron Dome and David’s Sling will most likely be empty within a few days from the beginning of the fighting, and “Israel” will stand exposed to thousands of rocket shells and missiles without An effective and effective defense, and certainly not an airtight one.”
At the same time, according to the report, Hezbollah will attempt to sabotage the activity of the Air Force and limit its ability to operate from its bases.
Heavy and accurate missiles, which will be directed to the take-off paths over time periods, will prevent or make it difficult to restore them. Intense fire will be directed at the hangar, where the warplanes will be stored. Precision missiles with explosive warheads weighing hundreds of kilometers will also be launched, including mobile missiles. It will also be directed towards sensitive infrastructure.
Also on the list of targets: power stations, electricity utility infrastructure, desalination and transportation facilities belonging to Mekorot, and the ports of Haifa and Ashdod.
Likewise, the authors of the research warned that “Israel” will also be attacked by swarms of dozens of suicide drones, which will fly at a very low altitude, towards specific targets deep inside “Israel,” in an attempt to touch weapons factories and emergency stores belonging to the “army.” Israeli hospitals and hospitals, which will be crowded with injured people, in numbers that medical teams have never seen before, even in the days following the attack of last October 7.
He added that the fire attack will be accompanied by extensive cyber attacks against vital transportation infrastructure, means of communication, and websites belonging to government ministries and local authorities, to a dangerous extent, leading to serious disruption to the performance of the economy.
The Radwan Force will occupy settlements and bases for the Israeli “army”.
The report also stated that chaos will worsen in “Israel” when Hezbollah sends hundreds of fighters from the Radwan Force to Israeli territory, in an attempt to control settlements along the border with Lebanon, and “army” positions in the region.
The Israeli “army” will be forced to face fighting and clashes with militants inside “Israeli territory,” at the expense of directing effort to immediate operations in Lebanon and ground maneuvers in order to control the launch areas.
At home, the Israeli public will find it difficult to receive updated and reliable information about the situation, and will lose confidence in the messages that will reach it from official bodies and spokespeople.
Panic and panic will worsen in light of the large number of casualties, the massive damage, disruption in the supply of electricity and water, the delay in the arrival of rescue and relief forces to the areas of destruction, the difficulty of obtaining necessary services such as food and medicine, and panic and confusion among the public, and Hezbollah will exacerbate it through war. Continuous psychological.
It will open a wide battle over awareness, when the media and social networks will be flooded with threats and information that will deepen internal disputes. Those who will want to flee outside “Israel” will discover that “Israel’s” air connection to the world has been cut off.
Ganor also pointed out that the Israeli public’s expectation that the Air Force and intelligence formations will succeed in preventing the majority of missile launches directed at Israel will be refuted.
It will also refute the assessment that “an intensified attack on important sites in Lebanon will force Hezbollah to cease its fire, or will significantly impair its ability to fire into the Israeli interior.”
The report also points to weaknesses in the Israeli “army” and weaknesses in Israeli “society.”
Hezbollah will not be alone in the battle
In addition to Hezbollah’s combat capabilities, the research’s authors warned that “Israel” will face, from the early stages of the battle, the joining of organizations from all over the region: “militias” loyal to Iran in Syria and Iraq, Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza, and Ansar Allah in Yemen.
In addition, “violent and widespread agitation” will occur in the West Bank, and among the “Palestinians of 1948”, who will work to close the “army’s” movement routes, make it difficult for its forces to reach the front, and riots in “mixed cities”, and prepare the local authorities for the fateful role that will take place. It will have to perform its duties, as an entity required to provide a response to civilians in the event of a crisis, from rescuing the injured in sites of destruction, to providing first aid to the wounded.
