Israel has for the last 18 months been engaged in a war on seven fronts against a single enemy. The enemy in question is the Islamist regional alliance led by Iran. The objective of this alliance is the destruction of the Jewish state. The stated intention of those who launched the Oct. 7, 2023, massacres in the Gaza area was to commence this process. In addition to Gaza, the fronts in this war are or have been Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, the West Bank and Iran itself.
