Senior Iranian military officials are developing concepts for destroying Israel without having to defeat the IDF and triggering a full-scale war. One of these concepts is surprise ground attacks into Israel.
The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Hossein Salami articulated a blueprint involving Lebanese Hezbollah and Iranian-backed Palestinian militias launching protracted ground campaigns from multiple fronts into Israel in 2022.
Salami reasoned that such pressure would disrupt the Israeli political and social order and generate widespread civilian displacement—without needing to deal a decisive blow to the IDF.
Gholam Ali Rashid, commander of Iran’s Khatam ol Anbia Central Headquarters, which is responsible for all joint military operations, expanded on this concept in a May 2024 interview and demonstrated how Iran is continuing to learn from Hamas.
Hamas’ attack demonstrated, Rashid said, that the Axis of Resistance could destroy the Israeli state by launching surprise attacks from Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank simultaneously —echoing Salami’s comments.
