| [IsraelTimes] Military releases annual intelligence assessment for coming year, sees Iran shifting focus to Yemen and Iraq as possible launchpads for attacks on the Jewish state. The Israel Defense Forces does not anticipate the outbreak of a large-scale war in the coming year, but does expect that Hezbollah and other terror groups will likely initiate more limited rounds of violence, according to its annual intelligence assessment. In recent months, the Israeli military has come to believe Hezbollah is increasingly emboldened and is operating under the assumption that it can launch attacks on IDF targets without this leading to full-scale war, as it previously assessed. |

| #1 about 1200 miles from Yeman to Israel at the moment the Houthis don't have a drone that can carry a 50# bomb that far about 300 miles from western Iraq to Israel, but the fact that Iran is trying so hard to establish a capability in southern Syria implies that they don't think they will have another way to threaten Israel with a deniable weapon |
