Ahead of a possible war with Iran: Home Front Command prepares

The Home Front Command held a discussion on how to prepare the Israeli public for a scenario of the start of a war with Iran. A military source said that various scenarios were examined, including a first American strike or a surprise Iranian attack, and that the warnings would be based on polygons determined in Operation Roar of the Lion.

The Home Front Command recently held a discussion on how to prepare the Israeli public for a scenario of the start of a war with Iran. The article reviews five direct confrontations between Israel and Iran: widespread Iranian fire in April 2024, fire in October of that year alongside Operation Northern Arrows, two Israeli attacks ('With the Lion' and 'Roar of the Lion'), and the 17-hour war in June 2026. In each case, guidance was carried out differently: when the IDF attacked first, sirens were activated, phone alerts were sent, and radio and television broadcasts were interrupted; in other cases, guidance was provided only through the media. A military source said that various scenarios are being examined, including a first American strike or a surprise Iranian attack, and that the warnings will be based on polygons determined in Operation Roar of the Lion.
