Israel Air Force Is Deadlier Than Ever
 [Ynet] IAF believes it can shorten next war on its own by striking thousands of targets a day, dropping more than 10 accurate bombs from one plane on different areas. Ron Ben-Yishai reviews revolution in aerial warfare branch perceived as 'Israel's insurance policy.'

At first we'll experience a number of tough days. Rockets and missiles, directed mainly at the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. The aerial defense will mostly defend strategic facilities and bases, in the big cities buildings will collapse and there will be casualties.
| So be sure to store a pick and shovel in your bomb shelter, guys, along with the family collection of gas masks. You might also want to invest in hard hats all around, and a hardened car seat for the baby. Oh, and don't forget a hardened animal carrier for the kitten. You really, really don't want to be dealing with a hysterical kitten as you dig out from the rubble of the sixth floor. |
But it won't last for long. The Israel Air Force will respond immediately, and after a few days we will see a significant drop in the number of missiles fired on Israel. A ceasefire will follow, there will be some more rocket fire, and then a truce and relative calm for several years thanks to the restored deterrence.
| This is, perhaps, taking "Keep calm and carry on," to a new level. |
