Falcon powers – In light of the military escalation and the hot night witnessed by the world, which was followed with anticipation, concern and eagerness, how will the general view of Tel Aviv be when what was launched from the Iranian bases of missiles and drones in the dozens reaches it?
A situation the world has never seen before, especially from a country known for its hostility to Israel and has not taken direct military action since the declaration of the Islamic Republic in 1979, where fear and anxiety prevailed the streets of Tel Aviv, despite their prior knowledge of the existence of a superpower that pledges protection and support, such as the United States. However, the Israeli military did not trust what would happen, especially after the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation announced half an hour before the attack that the state was calling on citizens to be cautious, as there was no 100% guarantee of stopping the Iranian missiles, which raised a big question mark in front of the long display of Israeli force against any attack.
Military experts believe that the Iranian attack was a turning point and a qualitative shift in the Iranian-Israeli confrontation, but when comparing the attacks that Israel has been subjected to since its establishment, security experts see that since the establishment of the State of Israel, there has not been an attack more powerful, humiliating, and with a large number of prisoners and casualties, like the Hamas attack on October 7th.
In a simple comparison, experts reveal that this Palestinian military party had the password that it competed with all the great powers, which is the zero hour and the element of surprise, as these two elements were the main point of difference between this attack (“Al-Aqsa Flood”) and the bombing of Iran as a major state for the occupied territories.
According to military experts, when the state knows the time of the attack, the hostile state loses the glory of achievement. However, this did not diminish the event in general.
Interestingly, David Brocklehurst, the former head of the planning and security advisory office in the US Central Command in Iraq, says that Israel is suffering from a severe crisis in its military prestige after the events of October 7, which is making it try to hide this by taking the initiative to open war and military fronts with countries that cannot defend themselves against it except with the presence of allies. But the question is, how would Israel behave if the US did not intervene and the scope of the battle with Iran expanded?
