PNN – Referring to the casualties of the Zionist forces in the war against Lebanon and Iran’s missile response against targets in the occupied territories last week, the Guardian newspaper wrote, suggesting the possibility of the ineffectiveness of Israel’s military doctrine: Tel Aviv’s military and intelligence superiority has been shaken on various fronts.
According to Pakistan News Network’s report from this English newspaper, experts say that after Iran’s attacks on bases and the increase in Israeli army casualties in Lebanon, Israel’s military doctrine may be ineffective.
In an article entitled “Israel’s lack of vision in a multi-sided war, it can have fatal consequences”, this newspaper said: On the eve of Rosh Hashanah and the great Jewish holidays (the holiday that marks the beginning of the Jewish year), the news of a large number of Israeli soldiers being killed and wounded in the battle with Lebanon was published.
The Guardian added: The publication of the number of dead and injured in the war with Lebanon, especially after the wave of Iranian missiles that were sent to Israel, was not only not as insignificant as the Israeli leaders initially claimed, but also showed how a large-scale attack can overcome Israel’s anti-missile defense and target the desired targets, including several military bases.
According to the author of this article, after a year has passed since Israel’s multilateral and expanding war, which now includes Iran, Lebanon and Gaza, Yemen, Syria and Iraq, the military and intelligence superiority of the Jewish state has been shaken on several fronts.
Israeli security analyst Michael Milstein told the Guardian last week: “There have been tactical victories in Israel’s expanding war, but there is no strategic vision, and certainly nothing that unites all the fronts.”

The last year’s war clearly exposed Israel’s new nuclear doctrine and showed that Tel Aviv had planned mainly for short-term and decisive wars against non-state actors armed with missiles, and had no plans for long-term, attrition conflicts. This war showed that despite the many efforts of Israeli leaders who tried to portray Hamas as suspiciously defeated, they now accept that this jihadist force remains a guerilla organization in Gaza. On the front of the battle with Hezbollah, this Shia militia group has maintained its combat power in southern Lebanon despite suffering heavy losses.
The Guardian considers all these conditions to be the basis for raising the question, “Does Israel basically have a clearer view of escalating the conflict with Iran or not?”
A long-range war with Iran could turn into a battle of attrition, many experts believe, even though Tel Aviv said last week in response to Iran’s missile response that it was preparing for a large-scale response.
Carmel Arbit, one of the senior members of the Atlantic Council think tank, described the current situation in an interview with the American news agency Bloomberg and said: “I think we’re going to see that for a long time.” He added: “I think the question that is being asked now is what will be Israel’s retaliatory action against Iran and will Israel be satisfied with only one reaction or not? I think the hope of the international community in the current situation is to prevent a third world war, not a smaller war of attrition.”
Nicole Grisky, a member of the Carnegie think tank, echoed the opinion of the Atlantic Council expert and warned that Israel’s massive response could lead Tehran to a less predictable response.
He added: The continuation of asymmetric reactions between Iran and Israel carries the risk of creating a futile cycle of Iranian missile attacks and Israeli retaliatory measures, which could potentially push Tehran to more unpredictable actions.
Anthony Pfaff, director of the Institute for Strategic Studies think tank, also explained: Considering that Israel is currently deeply immersed in a massive conflict, it is not clear whether it can be freed from it or not.
He noted: “If Israel escalates this situation, it will fuel a cycle of tension that can exceed its military capability at some point.”
According to this American analyst, if Tel Aviv continues the current situation in Gaza, it means that it has not done anything for its security. None of these results will achieve Israel’s security goals.
