Israel Matzav: Report: Israel planning to attack Iran 'after December'

Report: Israel planning to attack Iran 'after December'

In a report quoted on Israel Radio on Thursday morning from the French magazine Le Canard Enchainé, Israel has begun making some rather mundane preparations for an attack on Iran 'after December.'

According to a report in Le canard enchainé quoted by Israel Radio, Jerusalem has already ordered from a French food manufacturer high-quality combat rations for soldiers serving in elite units and also asked reservists of these units staying abroad to return to Israel.

The magazine reports further that in a recent visit to France, IDF Chief of General Staff Gabi Ashkenazi told his French counterpart Jean-Louis Georgelin that Israel is not planning to bomb Iran, but may send elite troops to conduct activities on the ground there.

These, according to the magazine, may involve sabotage to nuclear facilities as well as assassinations of top Iranian nuclear scientists.

According to the Jerusalem Post, Israel has maintained that it has the military capability to tackle Iran on its own if sanctions against the Islamic Republic prove ineffective.

I'll tell you a secret folks. I haven't asked anyone in the IDF, and I'm sure if I did the response would either be 'no comment' or a comment off the record, but I will guarantee you that the IDF already has elite forces on the ground in Iran and probably has at least since June.

Bet on it.
