Israel Is Regaining Its Strength after Oct. 7
(Jerusalem Post) Micah Halpern - Perceived strength is one of the most critical characteristics of defense in the Middle East. Israel's reputation as being virtually undefeatable was an essential part of its defense. It was a disincentive for Israel's enemies to attack. The brutal massacre of Oct. 7 diminished Israel's reputation and its deterrence took a serious hit, putting Israel's safety at high risk. After the Oct. 7 massacre, the Arabic and Iranian media were full of leaders and commentators shouting that Israel is "a house of cards," easy to destroy. They preached that Israel can be defeated. That is why the miraculous success of Israel's recent operations are so important to broadcast in the world media. The enemies of Israel should be quaking at the lengths to which Israel can and will go to achieve its objectives.
