• Israel ready to strike Iran, Lebanon, Gaza if ordered, says military chief
• Army chief: IDF prepared for Iran strike

Israeli forces are carrying out more special operations beyond the country’s borders and will be ready to attack Iran’s nuclear sites, Gaza and Lebanon if ordered, the chief-of-staff said in an interview on Sunday.

In an extract from an interview with the top-selling Yediot Aharanot daily, Lieutenant General Benny Gantz said that 2012 would be a critical year in efforts to halt what Israel and much of the international community believe is an Iranian nuclear arms program.

“We think that a nuclear Iran is a very bad thing, which the world needs to stop and which Israel needs to stop ─ and we are planning accordingly,” Gantz said.

“In principle, we are ready to act.

“That does not mean that I will now order (air force chief) Ido (Nehushtan) to strike Iran,” he added in the interview which will be published in full on Wednesday, on the eve of Israel’s 64th anniversary as a state.

Regarding the likelihood of a war breaking out this year, Gantz said: “Our intelligence assessment asserts that given the strategic reality and instability in the region, the chance of deteriorating to a war is higher than in the past. There are no indications of war, but the chances of the situation deteriorating into one are higher than in the past.

彼らはホロコーストのトラウマをもっているために、パラノイド（被害念慮）傾向が強い。よって、やられる、と感じるならば（最悪、客観性はなくても）、攻撃に出るだろう。逆に言えば、世界は彼らをそこまで追い詰めてしまったのだ。今、クリスチャンは真に彼らのために祈る必要がある。イスラエルという国の存続と、彼らの救いを。

こうして全イスラエルが救われるということです。次のように書いてあるとおりです、「救う方がシオンから来て、ヤコブから不信を遠ざける。これこそ、わたしが、彼らの罪を取り除くときに、彼らと結ぶわたしの契約である。」-Rom 11:26-27
