Israel Makes Preparations for War � Commentary Magazine: On a cold morning in late January, ambulances raced around Haifa, Israel’s largest port city.

Doctors and paramedics cleaned up the survivors, while the authorities informed the public the “unthinkable” had happened in the heart of the Jewish State.
