There were always two fronts to the war in Gaza. The first and obvious was the ground war: the mission to destroy Hamas and retrieve the hostages kidnapped on Oct. 7. The IDF has simultaneously carried out operations to decapitate Israel’s other enemies: an enormously sophisticated pager attack in Lebanon where devices carried by Hezbollah’s top brass were suddenly detonated, and a 12-day attack on Iran that took out the regime’s top military officials, its nuclear scientists, and, with assistance from the U.S., its nuclear infrastructure.
Netanyahu takes the heat while winning the war. Later he’s replaced by a more palatable pol. Seems a good plan.
