The Israeli military is reportedly preparing for the possibility of a conflict with Iran and its allied groups that could last for at least a month, according to remarks attributed to an official in the Israeli General Staff.
The comments were reported by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, which quoted the official as saying that the armed forces are making contingency plans for a prolonged confrontation.
According to the report, the military leadership has heightened readiness levels across several combat units in anticipation of potential developments and the possibility that current hostilities could widen in the near future.
The official noted that the preparations involve reinforcing air defence systems, deploying additional troops and planning for sustained military operations should the clashes continue or spread to other fronts.
The development comes amid a sharp escalation in regional tensions, marked by ongoing exchanges of strikes between Israel and Iran, alongside rising security concerns across multiple areas.
Analysts say the military’s indication that it is preparing for a war that could last weeks suggests growing concern within Israel’s security establishment that the current confrontation could expand into a wider regional conflict.
