Israel's Battle for Stability: Navigating Attrition, Post-War Planning, and Internal Unity

Israel is facing security threats from multiple fronts, including Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Yemen, all supported by Iran. In Gaza, Israel is expected to complete its occupation and destruction of the northern third of the strip, but will face ongoing counter-insurgency operations due to surviving tunnels and bunkers. Along the northern border with Lebanon, Hezbollah has been engaging in a low-intensity war of attrition, while Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen pose a threat to Israeli shipping. Additionally, lone Palestinian attacks continue in the West Bank. Israel may be forced to fight multiple wars of attrition on all fronts, leading to hardships and a sense of isolation. The article suggests that targeting Iran's assets may be the only way to bring true peace to Israel.
