The Realization of Qassem Soleimani's "Ring of Fire" Strategy
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Col. (ret.) Dr. Jacques Neriah - For the first time since its creation in 1948, Israel is facing seven active combat fronts choreographed by their Iranian patron and meant to annihilate Israel as a Jewish Zionist state: Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, the West Bank (Judea and Samaria), Gaza, and the Houthis in Yemen. This unity of fronts meant to suffocate Israel was the "Circle of Fire" vision of Qassem Suleimani, the slain commander of the Quds Force in the IRGC. Today it has emerged as a united coalition whose aim is to support Hamas in its war effort against Israel by waging a war of attrition and dragging Israel into an endless war. Both Hamas and Hizbullah, who were believed by Israel to be "deterred," spent their time preparing themselves for military confrontation with Israel.
