Israel’s Shadow War with Iran Continues
But will it be enough?
On Wednesday, the IDF chief-of-staff Aviv Kochavi took the unusual step of commenting publicly on an airstrike last month, in which Israeli jets struck a convoy carrying Iranian weapons from Iran to Lebanon via Syria. Although the number of such strikes on targets in Syria over the past decade probably reaches into the thousands, Israeli officials rarely acknowledge specific incidents or discuss the details. These are all part of a larger “war between the wars” fought by the Jewish state and the Islamic Republic, one which extends into the high seas and cyberspace. Jonathan Schanzer writes:
