At the end of the civilian year, the IDF reports today (Tuesday) a series of successes.

Summary of the Chief of Staff's 2021

The IDF reports an increase in the volume of IDF offensive activity in the past year, which has stood at over a thousand attacks in various arenas.

In Syria alone, the IDF carried out dozens of operations (the battle between the wars), not including the attack attributed to Israel in the port of Latakia last night.

This is compared to a lower number of attacks in 2020 and 2019.

In general, the IDF expresses satisfaction with the operational freedom of action in the various arenas and reports considerable success in preventing the introduction of weapons into Gaza, and in reducing the transfer of weapons to Syria. However, in this sector the other side has successes.

According to the report, during the past year about 50% to 70% of the time the means of transport of weapons in the air, at sea and on land were closed due to activity in the IDF. At the same time, the army points to a very disturbing trend in Lebanon. It is estimated that the defense establishment will not keep quiet.

Prepare for attacks on Iran

The IDF attaches strategic importance to the signing of peace agreements with the Gulf states, which also include operational, defensive and intelligence cooperation between Israel and the countries of the region. In addition, the possibility of future joint activities with Israel.

The IDF points out that all of Israel's enemies are deterred and, at the moment, do not want an initiated war against Israel. When they act, it is usually in response to Israeli action. For the fact that a few weeks ago Iran chose to respond against American targets and not directly towards Israel.

Meanwhile, the IDF is stepping up preparations for the possibility of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities and estimates that once Iran decides to explode the bomb, it will take at least two years to do so.

The main difficulty of the IDF is planning the attack against the uranium enrichment facility in Purdue, which is located inside a mountain and the intrusion into it is much more complex.

The IDF estimates that it was possible to attack the nuclear facilities even a decade ago, now the operation will be more complex because in the past decade the Iranians have been equipped with many more sophisticated air defense systems.

As for Hezbollah, the IDF estimates that even at the end of 2021 the organization is deterred and does not want war. According to information from the IDF, Hezbollah has not yet succeeded in establishing an industrial factory production line for the production of precision rockets on Lebanese soil.

However, he has limited capabilities in this regard.

It is no secret that the IDF is paying special attention to disrupting Hezbollah's "rocket accuracy project" also in attacks by the Syrian Air Force, on attacks by wing transfers and kits ("kits"), which turn Hezbollah's "stupid" statistical rockets into accurate, threatening rockets. About Israel.

Progress in negotiations on prisoners and missing persons

The IDF reports progress between Israel and Hamas in Gaza in negotiations for the prisoners and the missing, but the gap is still large as Hamas insists on the release of murderous terrorists in any future deal.

As for the West Bank, the IDF reports an increase in the level of popular terrorism of individual terrorists in the past year, in parallel with a decrease in the number of Israeli casualties - two in total in the past year.

Meanwhile, the IDF has not been satisfied in the past year with regard to military-social issues, and it seems that the chief of staff and the army's leadership are very concerned about the declining public confidence in the IDF. Generals and experts who are supposed to answer the question of why the public's trust in the IDF has declined.
