TL;DR
Israel is facing a convergence of security and political crises, with tensions over national security and domestic politics bleeding into each other. Recent clashes with Palestinians and Palestinian-linked groups in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Syria have left Israel vulnerable on multiple fronts. Meanwhile, protests over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed judicial overhaul have led to weeks of unrest across the nation. The situation has left Israel's security apparatus distracted and vulnerable to exploitation by its adversaries, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
