Who really dragged whom into the war with Iran?

Did Netanyahu persuade Trump to attack Iran? “That narrative rests on a mistaken assumption.” Did the Mossad assess that the regime could be toppled? In fact, it was the US war secretary who believed that more than anyone.

The surprise candidate for prime minister worth betting on Polymarket

After years of maneuvering and bombings, politics in its purest form is back in Israel: from the Bennett-Lapid alliance waiting for Eisenkot, to Liberman declaring that he will be prime minister, to Bennett’s former partner, who is polling at a seat and a half and remains politically homeless for now. And does Herzog sometimes, just sometimes, think it would not have been so terrible had Miriam Peretz won the presidential election?

This is the new global arms race

With Trump's return to the White House, the world understood: Everyone needs to look after themselves. In Europe, against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and the Russian threat, defense spending has jumped at the fastest pace since 1953. In the Far East, Japan is moving away from pacifism and China is flexing its muscles. Israel, meanwhile, ranks third in the world in defense spending as a share of gross domestic product.

How Ukraine's drone war became Hezbollah's new battlefield blueprint

FPV drones have transformed warfare in Europe, bled the Russian military and turned entire cities into apocalyptic hunting grounds. The use of fiber-optic cables for navigation has made the “buzzing bomb” immune to electronic warfare. Hezbollah relied for years on its anti-tank missile array, but attrition in the war and the blocking of smuggling routes have led it to adopt the new weapon.

Iranian-backed and battle-tested: Inside Hezbollah's strategic weapon

As Israel withdrew from Lebanon in 2000, the terrorist organization continued developing its drone array, which was identified as a weapon that could undermine the balance of power against Israel. The man who established it, at the height of the war in Syria, was senior Hezbollah official Hassan al-Laqqis. According to reports, Iran's Quds Force even provided training. This is how the drones work, and how they changed the rules of the game.

On Mount Dov, the IDF pushes Hezbollah back

At the summit of Mount Dov, Lt. Col. G., deputy commander of the IDF’s Mountain Brigade, acknowledges: “Before the massacre, we didn’t operate here.” Since then, however, Israel has shifted from defense to offense, culminating in the capture of the Hermon ridge and control over the entire area.

Although Hezbollah's top ranks have lost many senior figures and field commanders in the military apparatus, the organization's leadership echelon has remained almost entirely untouched.
