A study conducted by the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies (IINSS) on the anticipated war scenarios concluded that any next war will involve big area in the Middle East (ME), which may include Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Gaza.
The director of the institute Brig. Gen. Uday Dekel, warned that "in a next war, the Israeli home front will be attacked with thousands of missiles, in addition to the bombing of drones from several squares: Lebanon, Syria, western Iraq and possibly Gaza."
According to the study, the next confrontation will be against the "Iranian Shiite" axis, a connected internal chain from Tehran to Beirut, which includes various capabilities to attack Israel on a large scale, with missiles, drones and guerrilla units that may infiltrate into Israel and break into settlements and vital sites near the border with Lebanon and the Golan Heights.
In addition, the study concluded that "the next war will involve sides, possibility of Hamas and Islamic Jihad joining the Gaza Strip."
The authors of the study stressed that there is a major change in the threat represented by Hezbollah's presence, especially its efforts to prepare missiles with the help of Iran.
"The next war in the north will be devastating and difficult, and it seems that neither side wants it to break out," said researcher Orna Mizrahi.
"Although the parties do not want war now, that confrontation may break out and get out of control for several reasons: instability in the region after the assassination of the Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, and Iran's insistence to continue strengthening its readiness for war in North".
The study authors indicated that the next war will be different in scope and intensity from previous wars, as a lot of destruction is expected on the Israeli home front, including damage to strategic objectives in Israel, but the greatest damage will be in Lebanon and Syria.
