Tel Aviv: Amid the possibility of an Iranian attack, Israel is preparing to deal with the war. This includes building blood and underground bunkers and practicing blackout. After the assassinations of the Hamas chief and Hezbollah commander, Iran and Israel are currently on the brink of war. Israel fears a two-pronged attack from Iran and Hezbollah. In such a situation, Israel is preparing to deal with the situation of people getting injured in an Iranian attack and the situation that may arise if the war continues for a long time.
The Sun reports that Israeli agency Shin Bet has built a bunker under Jerusalem to protect the country’s top leaders. It has been designed to be able to survive missile attacks. Government officials have also been given satellite phones to contact if an Iranian attack destroys telephone lines, cell service and the Internet. Israeli hospitals are also on high alert and preparing to deal with the situation after an attack. A motorcycle group has been formed to transport blood from protected blood bank vaults across the country. Hospitals are also preparing themselves for cyber attacks and long periods of power outages.
How to handle power outages
A report says that due to damage to the power infrastructure, the country could be deprived of electricity for 24 to 48 hours. At least 60 percent of the country could be affected by this. Preparations are also being made for such a situation. West Asia expert Dr. Anahita Motaz says that Iran will not attack alone, but its response will be on many fronts. Along with Iran, Hezbollah and Houthi rebels can also target Israel along with Iran.
A report quoting some US officials said that the Iranian army has been seen carrying missile launchers and conducting military exercises. This is being seen as Iran’s preparation to attack Israel. A White House spokesperson has confirmed that President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been briefed by national security advisers about the missile attack. The US is sending a carrier strike group, additional warships and a fighter squadron to West Asia to respond to any targets on its bases or allies.
