Limor noted in his analysis that the Israeli military was still 3-5 years away from being fully prepared for such a campaign, having sidelines the groundwork for it over the past few years due to the 2015 nuclear deal.

The IDF has been gradually stepping up its preparations for a potential strike against Iran, including developing new striking avenues and dramatically increasing relevant procurements.

Lebanon's Al Akhbar daily, affiliated with the Iranian-backed Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah, focused on the fact that Israel "is five years away from being able to strike Iran's nuclear facilities."

Al-Araby Al-Jadeed newspaper noted that according to "an Israeli paper that analyzed the stages of the war with Iran," the Israeli military's readiness was "currently limited."

Citing unnamed Israeli defense sources, the daily said that any strike on Iran would likely include more than just the Islamic republic's nuclear facilities, pointing to the fact that Israel is working under the assumption that a conflict with Iran would be ongoing – either directly or vis-à-vis Iran's regional proxies.

The London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported on the item in its headline, saying that Israel Hayom's weekend magazine published a special project on the Israeli readiness for such a strike.

Rai al-Youm, another UK-based digital news website, reported that "The Israeli army is preparing to carry out a major military offensive against Iran, the effects of which will last several years."

The report further noted that Limor's analysis delved into the need for an accelerated diplomatic campaign to foster international legitimacy for an Israeli strike.

It further quoted a former senior defense official as saying that Israel "has to make sure that an attack would lead to a significant delay in the Iranian nuclear program, otherwise Israel would have done nothing."
