Conclusion: Strategic Assessment and Policy Recommendations

Strategic Survey for Israel 2018-2019, The Institute for National Security Studies, December 2018

עברית
Amos Yadlin

This chapter spans four subjects. The first is an assessment of the national security situation in late 2018, as formulated by the Institute for National Security Studies. The second section focuses on core issues for early 2019 that should be debated by Israel’s military and political decision makers. The third section examines black swan events, strategically significant turning points that are unlikely to occur, but if they do occur, would be of utmost significance for Israel’s political and security situation. It is recommended that the Israeli government examine these extreme events and their potential implications for Israel, and prepare for them. The fourth section of the chapter presents ten core recommendations for Israel’s national security policy in 2019 and beyond.


The opinions expressed in INSS publications are the authors’ alone.

Electromagnetic Bombs
Electromagnetic bombs (EMBs) are weapons based on electromagnetic radiation in the microwave spectrum, with destructive potential against electronic systems including communications, control systems, computers, and electrical systems, up to the point of paralyzing security, economic, and health infrastructures. EMBs have inherent advantages: They operate at the speed of light, are easy to use, cover wide target ranges, and function under all environmental and weather conditions. There are several types of EMBs, and they can be launched from various platforms such as cruise missiles, UAVs, air-dropped munitions, and certain types of rocket and artillery launchers. These bombs pose risks both on land and in space. The State of Israel must urgently prepare to address this emerging threat, particularly by strengthening its defense capabilities for critical national infrastructure. At the same time, it should also consider developing offensive capabilities of this type as a deterrent component that complements existing capabilities.
