Israeli army reserve Major General Yitzhak Brick said that any preemptive attack on Iran AndHizb allah The Lebanese will immediately lead to a regional war that Tel Aviv cannot fight or survive without relying on United State.
In an article published on the website of Israel's Channel 12 on Wednesday evening, Brick stressed that Israel's steadfastness in a regional war depends entirely on the United States, and that his country does not have the ability to withstand the war alone and win in the face of the depletion of the Israeli army.
Brick described the calls by some Israelis to launch preemptive strikes against Iran and Hezbollah as those who have not yet absorbed the worrying situation of the Israeli army, adding that “these people do not take into account that any preemptive attack will immediately lead to a regional war.”
The retired Israeli general warned that if Israel launched a preemptive war, its population centers, power plants, gas platforms, transportation and industrial infrastructure and army bases would be subjected to daily attacks by thousands of missiles and drones.
Brigadier General Brick stressed that the Israeli army does not have the ability to respond to a regional war, neither in defending this national infrastructure and others, nor in defeating Iran, Hezbollah and their proxies.
“In any case, the Israeli army alone does not have a winning answer to a regional war, even if it breaks out after we launch a preemptive attack, and therefore the Israeli army needs the help of the United States,” he added, stressing that Israel in its current situation is completely dependent on American support for its survival.
Ramifications
Brick explained that the US President Joe Biden Israeli Prime Minister Banned Benjamin Netanyahu From launching a preemptive strike, and told him that if he did so without the approval of the United States, he would not stand with Israel in a regional war that would break out in the wake of the preemptive strike that the Israeli army might launch.
He explained – in his opinion – that Biden instructed Netanyahu that if there were simple responses from Hezbollah and Iran that would not harm the Israelis, then Israel should not respond to them, “and if Israel decided to respond, it should respond with a balanced response that would not lead to escalation.”
The reserve major general described the assassination policy as useless at this time, and that it ignited a great fire in the Middle East, explaining that Netanyahu did not fully take into account the difficult repercussions that would follow his decisions, the latest of which was the assassination of the military commander of Hezbollah. Fouad Shukr in Southern suburbs To Beirut, and the assassination of the head of the political bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation) Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
Retired Israeli General Yitzhak Brick had previously warned that any war that Israel might wage would lead to its destruction, saying in an interview with the Israeli newspaper Maariv and the Kan channel that waging a war with Hezbollah would be a cause of Israel’s destruction.
Brik believes that the warning of war on Lebanon stems from the fact that the army is exhausted and that Israel has lost heavily in Gaza, “there is no ammunition, the vehicles are dilapidated, and we are losing reserve soldiers who refuse to join the service.”
