Forever wars : Israel cycle of conflict shows no finish line | US - Israel war on Iran News

Following a US-brokered ceasefire framework with Iran, 92 percent of Israelis polled believe the US deal undermines victory, with nearly half advocating continued attacks on Lebanon and Hezbollah regardless of US urgings. Despite extensive regional military operations since October 7, 2023, including strikes on Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, few Israelis perceive increased security, as Hamas retains control in Gaza and the Iranian regime remains steadfast.
