Israel Balances Between US Advice and the Need to Respond to Iran - Military Expert.
A year after Hamas' invasion of Israel, Israeli military forces are preparing to respond to a large-scale missile attack by Iran. This was stated by Israeli military expert David Handelman.
He stated that Israel is preparing a serious response but did not specify the timing or specific targets of this operation. There is currently an ongoing diplomatic struggle with the United States, which is pressuring Israel to reduce the scale of the response.
Handelman emphasized that the strike could target nuclear facilities, oil infrastructure, or military targets such as missile bases of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He also noted that Israel listens to the US's opinion but does not always act according to their wishes.
This is due to the fact that the US controls arms supplies to Israel. But Handelman believes that Israel should listen to the US but should not act solely according to their wishes. He concluded by emphasizing that Israel needs to make an appropriate decision in this situation.
