Israeli Air Force holds large scale drill simulating war on all fronts

Getting ready for the inevitable.  

Jerusalem Post

Israel Air Force squadrons took part in a large scale drill simulating war on all fronts over the past four days, Channel 10 reported Thursday.

Unlike previous drills, the air force did not train on long-range sorties, such as those that would be carried out during an offensive targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities; the drill this past week focused on defending the country.

During the exercise, the scenario included war against Hamas in the South and war against both Hizbullah and Syria in the North.

In early June, the Israeli home front will be practiced in the most far-reaching rehearsal for an emergency rocket attack ever carried out. All Israelis will be instructed to enter secure spaces and sirens will sound out throughout the country.

Fighter jets, cargo planes and missile defense systems of the corps took part in the drill where defense from a simultaneous attack against Israel from the south and the north was simulated.

    You sound like my Goth granddaughter. A couple of these statements have piqued my curiosity. "Ive stood alone under the black skies of Ancient Babylon" "My ancestors where cast into slavery by an evil order,, due to their deaf ears towards God.." "I talked to God beneath the crescent moon..."
    "Beneath the bright starts of the middle east..." I wish you would elaborate on those. As for "Its so hard to grow older....." I can tell you, you ain't seen nuthin yet.

    Eh! Black Talon why not find a lonely Jewess and convert to Judiaism then you'll find find out what utter cretins and bigots muslims can be.
    And as for praying to Allah(Hubal)he has a deserved reputation f0r total inaction.
    I've tried to persuade Allah to take a "anger management courses";but he just doesn't listen.
  • Kal_El
    Hubal? Is that the same demon known as Baël?

    Black Talon:
    Do yourself a huge favor:STOP USING THE INTERNET .You're clearly
    a very disturbed person so stay away from any gun stores and schools.
    Go read some fine books,such as Harry Potter's series.
  • Black Talon
    I do apologize about the comments I posted its just that I allow myself to get carried away and my sarcasim gets the best of me>
    So let me ask are you Jews or Israeli..? Because I thought it was a difference.
    To be a Jew is to be humble and meek.... To be a Jew is to follow Gods word he gave to Noah in the Torah. To live a life according to the word....
    To be Israeli is in a sence a Europen way of decrisbing yourself in a national way.. To have pride in a nation. The way Israel treat people of color is a disgrace. Their are true Jews of all skin tone and most are still dispersed around the world. The diaspora is nothing more then a mass migration of Europen converts most of whom dont even believe in God.
    In the Kibbutz there is prostitution.... You cant rise pigs there but you can by pork in the market. Im tired of Rich zionist... (zionest meaning Israelis not true Jews) pretending they got it so bad. There are worst problems in the world then Israel. You are so fake and always lying. Im going to move to Israel for a couple of years... when I get there im going to be the judge weather or not the state of Israel is moving in the right direction. And starting soon Im going to sit in on sermons and really get to know Jew up close and personal... And every day write a detailed description of everything that they do and say and how they feel about things. Im currently taking class for Hebrew and believe that I can read and write and speak Hebrew better then most of you bloggers. In going to be investigating this Israel statehood very very very closley from now on.

    That's not me.
    I guess that you're describing the Jews who were
    taken to Treblinka and Sobibor.

    "Be warned, Israelis, Black Talon is coming!"

    You're welcomed.I'll buy candy,hot dogs and soda.It will be
    a swell birthday party to celebrate your 9th year.Bring your daddy
    and mommy,ok?
  • Beejj
    "To be a Jew is to be humble and meek." Where did you get that idea? Have you ever read what we tend to call The Old Testament? You won't find much humility and "meekery" there. Lots of blood and guts and bonking and slave-taking. Just human beings like the rest of us. An Israeli is a citizen of Israel who may belong to any or no religion. What's this about skin tone? Pigmentation has nothing to do with it. And what's this about Israelis treating "people of colour" disgracefully? People of colour, my arse! Your ignorance of the Diaspora is embarrassing, so don't mention it again until you have undertaken the appropriate study. Do you make this tripe up as you go along? So there are prostitutes in kibbutzim, are there? Gosh! Naughty, naughty Israeli women! Who would have thought the oldest profession would exist in such places! What's next? Ah something about being able to buy pork and then an arcane comment about Zionist not meaning true Jews, to use your own impoverished language. And you are tired of rich Zionists, are you? You don't like the idea of an Israeli being successful and wealthy? What a strange bird you are! You are damned right, though, when you refer to there being worse problems. Let me give you a REALLY bad one: it's called Islam. Jews (or is it Israelis?) are always lying, are they? You should report this to the Norwegians forthwith so that they may take back all the Nobel prizes they have given to Jews. Israelis who read your little missive will be delighted beyond words to learn that you plan to move to Israel as a kind of impartial (?) umpire. What honour you bring to the country! But please don't get too "up close and personal" - unless you secretly desire to visit the naughty girls in the kibbutzim, of course! Your diary will be an intensely personal document, given that your grammar is so atrocious that few others will be able to understand it. I have not the slightest doubt that your Hebrew far surpasses mine, but you might be well advised to pay more attention to your English, so parlous is your mastery. Your final sentence sends a chill down my spine and a thrill of anticipation through my bloodstream. Be warned, Israelis, Black Talon is coming! Never mind the Messiah: Black Talon is coming! Be on your best behaviour - or else!!!

    I believe that Israel will defeat any challenge that comes to them no matter what. And black talon you should not be so full of bitterness. Your so childish how old are you? You sound like my 2 years old baby brother but for more stupid. It sounds like you dont even have a point of view you just want the world to burn for no reason.
  • Black Talon
    Ha Ha lol so they think there going to win...?
    How bout you just bomb the Dome Of The Rock...
    Rebuilt the Temple...
    Then have some great leader arise to proclaim himself Jesus...
    We all worship him... Then wala!
    The world ends and we all die in a great bloodbath.
    Israel the land will survive but all the goverment and military will die...
    Besides even though they might have a greater air force, that means nothing..
    Vietnam survived and still defeated the giant u.s.a. even though thoses clumsy B-52 dropped 3 times more bombs then the entire WW2..
    Israel will perish.
  • JEWHAWK
    Black Talon,After reading your post I came to the conclusion that you're
    not older than EIGHT,therefore I won't criticize you.Go read some GOOD
    History books,kid.Reading is a great antidote to your lack of knowledge.
  • SirWilhelm
    North Viet Nam survived and won because our leaders at the time feared going all out to defeat them because they were supported by the Soviet Union and Communist China. They feared WWIII if we invaded North Viet Nam, and the war could not be won unless we did that.
  • "Israel will perish."

    Sounds like you're looking forward to it?
  • Black Talon
    Well I believe if Israel would have allowed the country to be a binational state and not be so selfish then all this maybe could have been avoided... plus many of the so called Jews in Israel are not even the real Jews.... So yes I want to see this war take place from the comfort of my home sipping on Ice tea.. reading my favorit books. Laughing wishing that both Israel and Iran both kill each other...... Then I want the war to spread to europe and millions there suffer and die.... and all the sins of there grandfather who raped and killed millions be paid for in a single generation.
    I just cant wait!! Im so excited... I might just bomb the dome of the rock myself just to expidite the end.... I long for world destruction and mass death.

    BLACK TALON:

    Do allow me to enlighten you:

    There are 22 Muslim states.
    There is one Jewish state.

    Why should that ONE Jewish state be 'bi national' when the Arabs ALREADY own and control 99.99999% of the entire Middle East...?

    What you are proposing is nonsensical.

    As for Israel being 'selfish' - then what does that say about her neighbours? Israel is the only country in the region where people of ALL faiths get to vote and worship as they CHOOSE. Clearly you don't support democracy.

    As for 'jews in israel are not even the real jews' - I can only conclude that you are actually deranged. Go and educate yourself.
  • SirWilhelm
    Nice effort, but I'm afraid you're wasting your time. Either Black Talon is very sick, or he's putting us on. If he's serious, he should do the world a favor and kill himself.
  • Infidel_Tabatha
    Hey Sir Wilhelm :)

    Yes, I can see he's a lunatic. It's just that every time anyone repeats lies about Israel, I try to counter them, even if very briefly, as for every person posting here, there are many more reading quietly without joining in.

    But I do agree with you; 'black talon' is a nasty piece of work, for sure.
  • SirWilhelm
    When I said he should kill himself, I was putting him on, hope you picked up on that.
  • SirWilhelm
    http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idU... This covers Israel's present options pretty well. But, I wouldn't underestimate the possibility they could come up with something completely unexpected, as they've done in the past, remember Entebbe? How about the counterattack across the Suez Canal?

    Israel has been in a bind since it's birth, it's degree of severity has varied over that time and it's looks pretty severe right now. I hope, along with you Tabatha, that Israel will prevail in any conflict with Iran, or anyone else.
  • Infidel_Tabatha
    Sir Wilhelm,

    Yes, you are right. Israel does tend to think outside the box - she has to, in order to survive. I keep wondering if it would be an option just to 'remove' Mad Mahmoud. But I guess that runs the risk of turning him into a martyr and also, there's no guarantee that the next bloke in line would be any more moderate.

    I gather there are elections in Iran in June. I would think that Israel would hold fire until then, in case someone sane gets voted into power. I'm praying that is what happens.

    I have a great book on Entebbe, the focus is very much on Bibi's brother, Yoni, G-d rest his soul.
  • Infidel_Tabatha
    While I echo others' hopes for an Israeli victory in any conflict with Iran, this situation is different than previous conflicts - because never before has Israel been so isolated internationally.

    Right now, America is DENYING Israel access to vital and updated technology for the fighter planes that Israel would presumably need for any hit on Iran.

    Obama et al have also made it clear to Bibi in the past week, during their talks, that America will NOT support any pre-emptive Israeli strike on Iran.

    This is a nightmare scenario for Israel.

    Any air strike on Iran would take Israeli pilots over areas with hostile Arab armies and also American bases. So for the first time ever, we could potentially see a direct clash militarily between Israel and the USA.

    Meanwhile, Obama is busy handing Israel over on a silver platter to Iran, as a bribe to persuade Mad Mahmoud to shelve his nuclear aspirations. I've blogged a bit about this: http://ajewwithaview.wordpress.com

    Israel is in a bind. It is terrifying.
  • "So for the first time ever, we could potentially see a direct clash militarily between Israel and the USA."

    I suggest Tabby needs to do some research and read up about the Israeli attack on the US Navy ship the USS Liberty.

    The murderous Jews took some time out from killing Arabs and started killing Americans.

    Judaism is a mental disorder.
  • JEWHAWK
    Israel did strafe the U.S.S. Liberty because was NEEDED.The CIA and MI-6
    operatives were using data from the Liberty's eavesdropping,processing it
    at Cyprus and giving it to the Egyptian Military DURING the 1967 War.
    It seems that 34 U.s.sailors died.If I were the Israeli pilot strafing the liberty,
    I WOULD SINK IT,for spying is a beligerant act that deserved such action.

    If Judaism is a "mental disorder" what Islam would be?I don't find a suitable
    word in which Islam could fit even in a dictionary.
  • Infidel_Tabatha
    LOL LOL - '007'?

    More like 003 and a half.

    I suggest *you* look up the definition of 'friendly fire'.

    As for the topic of mental disorders - I'm sure that is your specialist subject.
  • JEWHAWK
    TABATHA: "Any air strike on Iran would take Israeli pilots over areas with hostile Arab armies and also American bases. So for the first time ever, we could potentially see a direct clash militarily between Israel and the USA."

    I believe that Saudi Arabia is much more freightened by a Nuke-armed Iranian
    regime than Israel itself,therefore Israel could've made an arrangement with
    the saudis to use a "corridor" through their airspace in order to reach Iranian targets,
    with the sole demand to harshly criticize Israel publicly afterwards for "invading Saudi
    Arabia's sovereignty" and for "attacking a fellow muslim country",even though the Wahabbi regime's hatred against Shia is even more bitter than what they feel against
    us,the YAHOOD.

    If American air patrols do encounter incoming Israeli aircraft loaded with armor-piercing
    bombs,they'll simply report to their base commander,I hope.Some of them could even
    know each other personally,due to previous training exercises made in California,Nevada
    and New Mexico.
    A dogfight involving Israelis against Americans would be UNTHINKABLE and its
    outcome unpredictable,I guess.If that would be the price,so be it.At least I hope that
    it could happen AFTER the attack,for the Israeli F-16's will be lighter for having dropped
    their bombs.
  • Infidel_Tabatha
    You make a good point about Saudi. The Arab world in general, I gather, is extremely nervous about the spectre of a nuclear Iran.

    The problem is that while Obama is courting Iran, he won't agree to the USA army just watching Israeli fighter pilots striking Iran, without reacting. At least, I don't think so - this is just my humble opinion.

    How could Obama sit by and watch Israel hit Iran, while he's busy trying to make Mahmoud his New Best Friend...?

    And remember who controls the oil. If forced to choose, Obama would choose Iran and the Arab world over Israel, in a heartbeat.

    Why do you think the Obama administration is right now amending existing laws to enable it to send so much money to Gaza?
    http://ajewwithaview.wordpress.com/2009/05/02/o...
  • This is correct Tabatha, plus Obama is not to be trusted. He's a counterfeit, and will do all he can to put our country at odds with Israel. Muslims hate the Jews, now what does that tell you, and are anti-American too. That is, Christian Americans. So who is waving the non-American red flag lately apologizing FOR America? Obama should apologize TO America, then get out.
  • OK I am registering with DISQUS - hope this works. BTW I just want Israel to whip Iran until the Kingdom Comes. Looks promising! I'll be praying, long live Israel. God bless them and America. The sooner the better IMO!
  • add a picture to your profile so we can identify you easier!
  • Infidelesto: now my dog is on here, as my profile. Infidels Are So -oooo Cool. GRRRR
  • JEWHAWK
    I do not doubt that Obama's staff could even give Iran
    some satellite information about Israeli Air Bases,in
    order to "look neutral".
    Americans already had done that in the past,they
    are doing at this very moment and will do so in the
    future.It's an old tradition mainly from the State
    Department since Forrestal in the 50's.

    With a guy named HUSSEIN at the WHITE HOUSE,Israel should treat
    its secrets very carefully,athough with Bush the situation would be as
    bad.Threre's an UNOFFICIAL anti-Israel policy alive at Washington's
    corridors and offices.That's WHY Israel spies HEAVILLY its quasi-perfect
    ally.Not for the fun of it,but out of necessity.
  • Thank you JEWHAWK: People in America are really ignorant and do not want to be told the truth it seems. They FOOLISHLY believe in Denial City, which lets us know why things have gotten bad very quickly. It will take a miracle to get out of this horrible mess, a night mare in the making. You are very wise, yes a real necessity. It will also take a fight to the finish, to get rid of the Usurper, however BO is his own worst enemy. "Be sure his sins will find him out." Numbers 32:23
    Fighting the good fight of faith, preparing for the worst, (BAM we want to look neutral, how insane) still I'm believing for the best.
    As always., the best to you, JeWHAWK.
  • Jewhawk: this is good, Israel needs to go on and whip the daylights out of Iran, since the Usurper has pledged the United States will never be at war with Iran. Obama says, after all his little "know it all" talks without condition have failed big time: " I don't understand, I tried to be nice to Iran and what did they do in return nuked Israel and America as well. Maybe if I appologize one more time to these Islamist Fascist Terrorist, things will get better, you think?" Oh I forgot, I am not to call the Islamist names. Sorry buddies!
    Israel is doing the right thing in being prepared, and not negotiating with these evil trigger happy devils. For sure we can't trust the Hussinsane, he'll be appologizing while running for cover.
  • JEWHAWK
    Israel is ready for TOTAL WAR.
    Iran isn't.They are SCREWD.

    When Israel unleashes its Air Force,those pilots
    will certainly be looking for BLOOD.They want
    to be the ones to MAKE HISTORY.

    I guess that the Six-Day War's first hours in which
    almost 300 muslim aircraft were destroyed at their
    airfields will be surpassed.

    Iranian aircraft's radars will be easily JAMMED by
    Israeli Electronic warfare...they'll be HELPLESS
    during the dogfights.

    I don't know if it would be a QUICKIE,but Israeli
    folks are prepared for the worst scenario if it
    comes.
