The Status of the Home Front in the National Security Doctrine in Israel

Introduction
Since the Gulf War in 1991, the civil home front in Israel has become a clear target for Israel’s enemies, to the point that the author of this article is convinced, and will represent in his statements, that Israel’s main problem, in the opinion of its enemies, is the high sensitivity of its citizens to loss of human life1 and their inability to cope with strikes against the “pampered home front”, which had the benefit of deluxe wars until 1991 and until the primitive Qassam rockets made in the Gaza Strip were first deployed, culminating in the war of July 2006 (the “Between the Straits” War)2, in which some 3,800 missiles were fired at Israel and in the two operations in thr south on 2010 ("The Metal Bronze") and on 2012, in which 1500 Grads and Qasams were fires at Israel during "The Cloud Wall" operation.
The Israeli home front did not sustain, until those years, attacks that were aimed at it with the aim of disrupting the entire State of Israel. The historical development of Arab countries’ wars against Israel, in the respect of the engagement in attacks against the civilian home front, parallels and is very much akin to the development of the threat to the Israeli home front in the history of war, as shown hereinafter, in other words from abstention to a state of realizing the threat with the aim of achieving strategic objectives and setting the outcome of the war
