As War Widens, Israel’s Conflict With Iranian Proxies Deepens

As Israel contends with intensifying pressures along all its borders, the government faces a series of complex strategic decisions that could shape the region’s future. The recent escalation in hostilities, marked by missile strikes from Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen and increased aggression from Hezbollah in Lebanon, underscores the urgency of Israel’s situation. Meanwhile, the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza continues to strain Israel’s resources and test its military capabilities.
