War

Three years and two days ago, Israel went to war for its very survival. This was not merely a war against Hamas. It was a war orchestrated by a sophisticated octopus whose head sits in Tehran.

The time has come for the government to stop managing evacuations and start investing in community resilience and respite models with the same seriousness and budgets it invests in Iron Dome. 

How are we preparing for the next war once Iran restores its missile capability, regains financial solvency, and resumes support for terrorism in the region?

Forty-five years of trying to defeat Hezbollah alone have produced failure. The time has come to turn Hezbollah from Israel’s problem into an international one.

Khalil’s home was reportedly hit by an Israeli airstrike on June 4, where she was seriously injured. Her assistant also suffered injuries and burns in the strike. 

Lt.-Col. Dor Gedalia Ben-Simhon, 32, St.- Sgt. Yoav Klein, 21, and St.-Sgt. Liav Kababia, 20, also of the 52nd Battalion, 401st Brigade, were killed in the same incident.

Trump would have us believe the people running Iran today are a different, new regime – that the architects of the January massacres are gone, replaced by new, more reasonable people. 

The conclusion is clear: a nation that attacks another in an attempt to annihilate it forfeits its claims to protection. Israel did not conquer out of ambition. It defended itself.

As elections approach, it is becoming harder to imagine Netanyahu convincing enough Israelis that he is still the man who can deliver security, status, or dignity.

The military revealed that one of the soldiers was Lieutenant-Colonel Dor Gedalia Ben Simhon, aged 32, from Beit HaShita, the commander of the 52nd Battalion, 401st Brigade.
