Israel is ramping up efforts to relocate IDF bases away from urban areas, a move long considered but now expedited by the recent conflict with Iran, according to The Yeshiva World.

Military officials say the decision aims to reduce risks to civilian populations and infrastructure, especially after Iranian missile threats and recent air defense incidents near population centers.

The Ministry of Defense has already initiated feasibility studies and land assessments for possible new base locations in more remote, secure zones. These plans had been under discussion for years but gained urgent momentum due to current security threats.

Critics argue that the relocation process may be expensive and complex, but supporters believe it’s necessary to ensure national safety and modernize military logistics.

The IDF emphasized that minimizing danger to civilians remains a top priority and that long-term planning is now being turned into rapid action.
