Biggest Israeli Army Budget to Face Threats by Iran, Hizbullah, Hamas
The Israeli army raised three challenges that require intense preparations to face up to the threat of Iran, Hizbullah and Hamas.
On those bases, Israel army made its demand for a military budget increase which amounted to $15 billion, the largest since the creation of the state of Israel.

Pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat, which carried the report, said Saturday that this budget "comes one year after training and preparations for new military drills, focused on the possibility of the firing of unusual projectiles."

It said the Israeli army placed the northern region, close to Lebanon, and the central region near the Gaza Strip and West Bank on top of the areas threatened by rocket attacks.

Israel army has announced the need for "35 F" aircrafts, considered as the most important and most vital armament should Israel decide to launch a military strike on Iran.

Al-Hayat said the Israeli army has continued to draw lessons from the July 2006 war and continues to carry out testing and preparations, adding that these measures were no longer confined to air-sea-land military drills.

It said the Israeli army has allocated a big budget for the training on electronic devices.
