Israel’s Air Force has resumed training for a possible strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Israeli media reported on Thursday.
The move comes after the country announced that it increased its military budget to prepare for a possible attack on Iran.
“Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi ordered budgetary funds be set aside for drilling in such a scenario, after a two-year hiatus,” according to Channel 12 and Times of Israel.
Kohavi also ordered that the “air force train intensely in simulating a strike on Iran’s nuclear program.”
Channel 12 had reported on Monday that the government planned to allocate $1.5 billion for an attack on Iran.
Israel has long threatened it would take its own action against Iran if the latter continued to threaten its interest and safety.
