On rabbits – Amos Harel in Haaretz:

‘More troubling, people are saying that in another round with Iran, the result on the home front will be similar. Officers in the air force say that this is baseless thinking.
"We have to be wary of victory celebrations like the war albums of 1967," one officer says, referring to the tomes written after the Six-Day War. If another war with the Iranians breaks out, it's best to expect higher Israeli casualties. Iran is a scientific and technological power.
"It doesn't matter what they say in public, they realize that systems in which many billions of dollars were invested didn't deliver the goods," another officer says.
"It's totally clear that the Iranians are learning lessons, and they'll now seek other solutions in a bid to bypass our systems. Iran will develop satellite capabilities, work on improving the accuracy of its missiles and upgrade its ability to penetrate our systems.
"We have to assume that they'll reach our capabilities in a few years. Next time we'll have to pull new rabbits out of our hat."’
