As the IDF continues its month-long Chariots of Fire exercise, a senior IDF officer in the Northern Command warned that Israel will continue to protect its citizens from Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard Corps, which persists in planning terror attacks against Jews around the world.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The officer spoke with\u00a0The Jerusalem Post<\/em>\u00a0a day after senior\u00a0IRGC officer Col. Hassan Sayad Khodayari\u00a0was gunned down outside his home in central Tehran. While he would not comment on the incident, the officer said that the Guard Corps \u201coperates not only in Syria but throughout the Middle East, and we have one mission – to protect all citizens of Israel.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, explained that though the northern front \u201cis relatively quiet\u201d and the area has prospered in recent years, \u201cthere have always been enemies around us and there will probably be more in the near future.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Middle East, he said, \u201cis very dynamic. While it is quiet above the surface, it is not always so below the surface.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The IDF\u2019s month-long Chariots of Fire exercise is aimed at strengthening defenses\u00a0and homefront resilience, and increasing the effectiveness of communication between various corps and commands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"<\/strong>\n
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett visit IDF largest training drill, dubbed \u201cChariots of Fire,\u201d, May 10, 2022. (credit: AMOS BEN-GERSHOM\/GPO)<\/strong><\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the military,\u00a0the drill is unique and unprecedented\u00a0in scope and will enable the army to maintain a high level of readiness in an ever-changing region. It aims to improve the military\u2019s capabilities in an intense, multi-front and prolonged campaign against enemy forces on various fronts simultaneously.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thousands of soldiers and reservists are taking part in the drill, which will see all commands including the air force, navy\u00a0and regular and reserve forces taking part.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe military wants the next war to be fast and lethal and will see ground maneuvering in enemy territory,\u201d he said, adding that the most complex part of war is making sure that all bodies are connected to each other \u201cso that the troops on the ground will have everything they need in order for the IDF to win \u2013 quickly.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though the drill was originally set to take place last year, it was delayed following the outbreak of Operation Guardian of the Walls last May. The drill this year also comes amid high tensions with Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as well as with Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

IDF assessments state that while it is unlikely that a war with Hezbollah will break out in the near future, the northern border remains the most explosive and both sides have warned that the next conflict between the two would be devastating.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hezbollah has an estimated arsenal of between 130,000-150,000 missiles and rockets \u2013 the majority of them facing Israel\u2019s civilian home front and strategic infrastructure.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

A war with the terror group would see intensive rocket fire on the home front coming not only from Lebanon, but from the Hamas-run Gaza Strip as well as countries further from its borders.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the senior officer, in addition to the thousands of rockets expected to be launched towards Israel, \u201cwe will have to deal with challenges that we never saw before\u201d including increased use of attack drones that continue to be an evolving threat that poses challenges to the Jewish state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to rocket fire and drones, Hezbollah is expected to try to infiltrate Israeli communities with their Radwan forces.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though Israel destroyed the group\u2019s cross-border attack tunnels, \u201cHezbollah continues to threaten to infiltrate into Israel. They have their plans and we have ours,\u201d the senior officer said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd as a Golani, I can tell you that we are ready to meet them and their plans. While I prefer it not to happen, if they try, they know very well what they will encounter here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We love our country and we will fight for it,\u201d he said. \u201cThat is the strength of the IDF. We are ready.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
