“America is not the same America in terms of its presence, and the Iranians see that. The US has much greater problems than the Middle East. The world looks at Israel differently”

On April 5th, the eve of Passover, Israel faced the most significant barrage of rocket attacks from Lebanon, 34, since the 2006 Lebanon War. On top of that, 6 rockets were fired from Syria, with 2 crossing the border into Israel. In addition to that, with the holidays of Ramadan and Passover coinciding, violent clashes have taken place from the Al Aqsa Mosque, and rockets have been fired by Hamas from Gaza into southern Israel. On top of that, Israel has now faced a renewed wave of terrorist attacks on its civilians, resulting in the death of an Italian tourist, Alessandro Parini (34), and 3 members of one family, Lucy Dee, age 45, and her two daughters, Rina, (20) and Maia, (15).

How is Israel managing to handle this war on multiple fronts?

Here to answer this question, is Lieutenant Colonel Sarit Zehavi of the Alma Research and Educational Center.
