Israel's lingering headache after the war

Israel's lingering headache after the war

In the Second Iran War, Israel demonstrated extraordinary capabilities and struck its enemy in an unprecedented way. But as in every front since October 7, military power came at the expense of other forms of strength that are being eroded at an alarming rate. How can the same mistakes be avoided on Israel's northern front?

Netanyahu spoke with Qatari PM, apologizes for Doha strike

The Trump-Netanyahu team broke the fear barrier

Bennett fired the opening shot, and after him some of the brightest minds philosophized about the concept of “victory.” But no one can take away what two courageous leaders achieved when they took their fate into their own hands. 

IDF prepared a pre-emptive strike, but Hezbollah fired first

Lebanon will determine the fate of the campaign

On the Iranian front, Israel did everything it could, and the achievements are significant, even if not decisive. But on Israel's northern border, it looks as though we are heading toward a historic missed opportunity. Instead of forcibly freeing the Lebanese state from Iranian control, including by targeting its leaders, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu folded under pressure from the US administration, yielded to Iran and entered negotiations with Beirut's puppet regime.

The Shas chairman sits in cabinet rooms, shapes Haredi draft policy, and now speaks candidly about what was promised before the Iran campaign, why the ceasefire was the right call, and what it will take for his grandson to enlist.

How will we know the war is over?

The Iranian regime survived. What now?

Despite Iran’s declarations, most of the war’s objectives were achieved. Iran emerges from the war weakened economically and militarily, but its success will be measured only by the outcome of the negotiations. In Israel, officials are clinging to promises they received from the Trump administration, but fear that the motivation to return to war if Iran refuses will be limited.

This is the plan to bring down the Iranian regime

As President Donald Trump's ultimatum nears its end, there are almost no contacts between Washington and Tehran. Israeli officials believe the failure of the talks is pushing the war into a decisive economic phase. The goal: hitting the Iranian oil and transport sectors until the economy is paralyzed and the  regime collapses.

The soldiers of the all-female Red Unit study Hezbollah and Hamas down to the smallest tactical detail – then use that knowledge to expose every gap in Israel's defenses before the shooting starts for real.

Where has Egypt been since October 7?

Where has Egypt been since October 7?

Since the war began, Egypt has walked a tightrope: attacking Hamas with one hand while fueling anti-Israel propaganda with the other. It is struggling to preserve its status, yet drifting into Qatar's orbit. Weakened, but somehow strengthened too. What will be the price of its silence and avoidance?

Trump faces four military options as US reinforces near Iran

Thousands of soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division have begun arriving in the Middle East, joining about 2,500 Marines who arrived over the weekend and hundreds of special operations troops. On the table are seizing Kharg Island, breaking the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, extracting Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, and launching a final wave of strikes on energy infrastructure as a signal the campaign is ending.

Why Iran's struck nuclear sites matter

Israel attacked the heavy water facility in Arak and a plant in Ardakan. The reactor in Arak, which was also struck in June, is capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium, while the nearby plant in Ardakan produces “yellowcake,” the raw material used in the uranium enrichment process.

The mission: hunt down Iranian missiles in real time, before a ton of explosives hits Israeli homes. The time allotted: only seconds. The "launcher hunters" offer a glimpse into the fateful chase, and admit: "The Iranians are no pushovers. We are not fooling ourselves into thinking we can reduce launches to zero."
