Israel under the microscope. March 2026
Forecast: Global world events in the coming months (published March 18, 2026, link)
S. Dragan:
Israel will be under immense scrutiny, on the brink of... severe destruction from March 20-26, 2026.
In this confirmation, we return to the period of active combat in the Persian Gulf in the second half of March and focus on the “severe destruction” and losses for Israel during the specified timeframe “20-26.03.2026”.
Despite Israel's strict military censorship, some information about Israel's losses has still leaked to the media. Of course, one must consider that “never is there so much lying as during war”.
After the United States and Israel launched an unprovoked war against Iran on February 28, 2026, Tehran began striking Israeli territory and U.S. military bases in the region in retaliation.

Iran used the Nasrallah missile system for the first time during strikes on Israeli oil refineries, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced, according to the Fars news agency.
«During the operation to strike the oil refineries in Haifa and Ashdod in Israel, the Nasrallah system (an advanced and guided Qadr missile) was used for the first time», the report states.
Earlier, a Pentagon spokesperson confirmed to RIA Novosti that an American F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing at a base in the Middle East after completing a mission over Iran. Reports stated that the Islamic Republic's air defense forces shot down an American F-35 fighter jet for the first time.

The Islamic Republic launched strikes against Israel's Ministry of National Security. The office of the Israeli 13th channel in Tel Aviv was also targeted. The IRGC stated that they are carrying out strikes in retaliation for the sinking of the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena and the attack on Minister of Intelligence Ismail Hatib.
Night of March 21, 2026
Israel repelled one of the most massive attacks by Iran. Air alarm sirens sounded across the country. Drones came from the north, while the center and south were hit by a barrage of rockets, many of them with cluster submunitions. The attack was intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system, but debris from the downed rockets fell in cities. Explosions were heard in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
March 21, 2026
Iran launched a series of missile strikes against southern Israel, targeting Dimona and Yeruham.
Dimona is home to Israel's most secure nuclear research center in the Negev - the country's most protected atomic reactor, whose damage would put the region on the brink of an environmental disaster.
"Twelve impact sites were recorded in Dimona after the Iranian missile strike, with around 20 people injured," reports Ynet. According to the agency's data, a shell in one neighborhood caused a complete collapse of a residential building.
Previously in Dimona, fragments of intercepted missiles were found after previous waves of shelling, and the city's mayor ordered schools to close.
Combat Operations Against Lebanon
In the second half of March, Israel launched combat operations against Lebanon.
«We will turn southern Lebanon into Gaza, destroying every house in the border villages. 600,000 residents of the region will not return home» - this statement was made at the end of March this year by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, as reported by Соловьев Live.
Israeli military forces launched a ground offensive in southern Lebanon, justifying their actions as an attempt to create a buffer zone and push back the activists of the Hezbollah resistance movement, who had become more active in the first half of March this year.
Indeed, the tactics of ground troops have undergone significant changes in the past few years. Anti-tank calculations from ambushes and drone operations have inflicted such losses on Israeli heavy machinery in a single day as the aggressive Israelis have not seen in the past forty years.
Statistics show that on March 26, 2026, in the main attack direction between the cities of Kantara and Taybe, representatives of the Hezbollah movement on Lebanese territory from ambushes destroyed Israeli heavy equipment.
Out of action are the celebrated and "mighty in the sands" - 21 Merkava tanks
March 26, 2026 will go down in the history of modern armored forces as one of the darkest days for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In a single day, the IDF lost 21 main battle tanks Merkava, the largest single loss of Israeli armor in over 40 years.
Political Consequences
Not only military losses and significant damage did Israel sustain at the end of March and beginning of April this year, but also substantial political ones.
During this period, "Israel will be under immense scrutiny" from international political and civil society organizations.
UN Secretary-General Guterres warned that Israel's actions in southern Lebanon would amount to war crimes and genocide against the Lebanese.
The confrontation between Tel Aviv and its regional rival, Ankara, is intensifying. At the same time, Turkey is deploying its troops to Cyprus and Syria. The buffer zone between Turkey and Israel is disappearing.
As experts predict: "The question is not whether a conflict between Turkey and Israel will occur, but when."
They conclude that by doing so, B. Netanyahu has led Israel to the most systemic and dangerous crisis in its history since 1948.
S. Dragan:
But apparently, this is not all, because this country (Israel), like an apple of discord or the center of "upheaval field," has not yet played its main role in all the events that will continue in July-August 2026, where one of the hottest historical points of the current time is located.
Of course, war is a two-way process, and a very dangerous situation has arisen for Iran, but this is a topic for another confirmation.
