Israel Braces for an Iranian Strike "Unlike Anything We Have Known"

Israel has entered its second month of maximum military readiness as the IDF prepares for a potential Iranian "Doomsday" scenario that officials warn will defy all previous combat precedents.

Col. (Res.) Nir Noyman, the Home Front Command’s liaison for Rishon LeZion, delivered a sobering assessment of the threat landscape. He noted that while Israel has weathered decades of rocket fire, the looming Iranian offensive targets the nation's very nervous system: its strategic infrastructure and power plants.

Amid the heightened tension, the Home Front Command is urging citizens to move beyond basic awareness and toward active preparation. Noyman emphasized that because injuries often occur on the way to shelters, families must be self-sufficient once the door is locked.
