As Israel prepares for an attack from Iran – fueling fighter jets, deploying air defense batteries and coordinating the deployment of American military facilities with Washington – it is alarming the US-led Arab coalition that helped prevent the latest Iranian attack on the night of April 13.
Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have helped Israel intercept 99% of the more than 300 drones and missiles launched from Iran.
Israel now feels more isolated regionally, making it more vulnerable to an attack from Iran. Defense experts worry that even with U.S. support, Israel’s air defenses might not be able to withstand a massive, coordinated attack, notes Shira Rubin, an international correspondent for The Washington Post.
Jordan and Saudi Arabia have said they have no intention of turning their airspace into a war zone, and Egypt has also refused to take part in a military operation to shoot down Iranian missiles or drones.
It is noted that a possible attack by Iran could be more sudden, large-scale and prolonged, likely lasting several days. Iran could coordinate an attack in several directions with the participation of its allies in Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Lebanon.
Israel estimates that the worst-case scenario would be a multi-front attack by other Iranian allies aimed at testing the capabilities of Israeli systems, which could be overwhelmed.
Arab countries are trying to publicly disclaim any involvement in possible violence.
