How did the Syrian missile strike on the Dimona nuclear facility upset the deterrence equations? A change that has frightened Israeli commanders
Five developments led to an extraordinary meeting of Israeli commanders and senior regime military and security generals. How did the Syrian missile break all the deterrence equations? What will be Iran’s reaction to the attack on its tanker in the port of Banias? Why was the Israeli author advising his citizens to “immigrate” at least 2 years late?
Israeli security and military commanders held a meeting with senior security and military generals, as well as ministers of war and foreign affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday, 24 hours after a Syrian missile struck 30 km from the Dimona nuclear reactor. It indicates an important matter and the existence of a threat of an unprecedented nature to examine how to deal with such a threat.
“Israelis leaked information that the reason for holding this extraordinary meeting was the firing of 36 rockets fired by resistance groups from the Gaza Strip towards the towns around Gaza to warn that if Israel violates the ceasefire agreement, the resistance will resort to other means, including” “Ground attack” or “carpet rain missile” will respond, but this solution will be Netanyahu’s last resort, given the current US disregard for Netanyahu and the growing Israeli internal crisis and the possibility of a crisis factor in the beginning of heavy Palestinian rocket attacks. Changes in the situation and the start of a new war are not unexpected if Netanyahu fails to form a cabinet.
According to various news sources, the Syrian missile did not deviate from its path but was moving towards Dimona, and the message of its explosive warhead was more eloquent and powerful than the explosion: That is, the missile reached Dimona undetected and the Iron Dome system is nothing more than a “lie” before the Gaza missiles showed that the system was fake, and the Syrian missile showed the defect of this system in a better way.
