(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - Iran's Revolutionary Guards and Hizbullah are delaying a retaliatory attack against Israel due in part to the readiness of the IDF to launch a counterattack against any aggression from Iran or Hizbullah. Recent overflights by Israeli Air Force jets above Beirut aim not only to intimidate Lebanese residents but also to exploit Israel's aerial superiority and maintain constant surveillance for any preparations for an attack on Israel. The skies over Lebanon and western Syria are densely populated with armed aircraft and drones, ready to strike within minutes if a missile launcher is detected. While drones and Grad rockets are relatively easy to conceal, heavier missiles that require preparation for launch are more easily detected by Israel's advanced monitoring systems. Iran's missiles require about an hour to prepare for launch, including fueling, making them detectable by satellite surveillance. Iran and Hizbullah understand that Israel and the U.S. will not preemptively strike, but they will likely act during or after an attack through a counterstrike. 2024-08-15 00:00:00Full Article
U.S. Buildup and Fear of Immediate Counterstrike Stay Iran and Hizbullah's Hand
