Israel's Operation Shield and Arrow Exposes Iran's Weakness and Strengthens Israel's Regional Ties
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Lt.-Col. (ret.) Michael Segall - Though Iran portrayed Israel at the depth of its weakness and the Resistance Camp at the height of its strength, the latest round of fighting in Gaza actually exposed Iran in its weakness. Iran expected the other elements of the Resistance Camp (mainly Hamas) to join Palestinian Islamic Jihad in launching missiles at Israel. Moreover, Israel's impressive display of intelligence and potent operational capabilities during the operation bolstered its military reputation in the eyes of Arab countries, potentially paving the way for further future regional cooperation against Iran.
