They didn't spend it planning for this war.

You clearly haven’t seen their militaries… the U.S. developed a bunker buster bomb that they didn’t need for anywhere else just to target the Iranian nuclear programme, which is what was used last June and it is believed that Israel hacked the Tehran traffic camera network… I would say this looks like preparation. As an Israeli too, I can tell you that the only thing that the military establishment was developing for in the last couple decades has been Iran… it is why Israel wasn’t prepared for the October 7th attacks from Iran and why in contrast the beeper attacks on Hezbollah (the Shia Iranian-run proxy in Lebanon) were so successful. But just discount the worlds largest and most successful military in history and the 7th largest military exporter… it is good for us when you underestimate us

LOL, ROFL even. For decades now, the main purpose of Israeli Air Force has been to fight this war.
