How Israel hopes third war with Iran will be different than Gaza - analysis
Some top officials hope unique advantages will avoid endless “rounds” with Hamas.
Israel anticipates a third conflict with Iran following similar wars with Gaza, though its outcome may differ. Israelis have faced numerous rounds of fighting, notably in Gaza from 2008-9, 2012, 2014, and 2021, along with additional minor conflicts before October 7. Some speculate Iran could transform into a persistent adversary akin to Gaza, with the capability to inflict ongoing damage to Israel's cities and disrupt daily life.
The prospect of such a scenario weighs heavily on the minds of Israelis contemplating the implications and costs of engaging Iran. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Iran's potential for change or defeat, Israeli officials remain hopeful that their approach could yield significant results, even if the risks are substantial.
