Five reasons why Israel’s 7-front war is so hard to win

Gabriel Elefteriu

Over the past three weeks Israel has delivered an exceptional masterclass in intelligence-led military operations. Through the use of exploding pagers and radios, precise airstrikes, and a special bombing run against Hassan Nasrallah’s multi-storey bunker, all timed to perfection, the Israelis decapitated almost the entire command structure of Hezbollah – the region’s largest and most potent terrorist organisation.

Success on this scale, claiming so many top-level targets – including Nasrallah himself, the monster terrorist-in-chief – in such a short space of time, is absolutely astounding and unprecedented.

It follows the Gaza campaign – unleashed in response to Hamas’s barbaric 7 October terrorist attacks – whose main operations have largely concluded. This, too, has been a military success in the sense of Israel achieving its immediate objective of crippling Hamas, destroying its tunnels and retaking effective control of Gaza.
