An Interim Score in the Latest Round of Israel-Iran Fighting
(X) Lt.-Col. (ret.) Jonathan Conricus - Iran blinked first. Israel checked the Iranian attempt to restrict Israeli freedom of action against Hizbullah. Iran failed to hit Israeli targets and suffered a few hits on its military targets, as it remains exposed and vulnerable to the Israel Air Force. The IDF does not yet have a tactical solution for optic FPV drones, and Hizbullah will likely aspire to continue to exploit that, which will fuel more fighting and Israeli strikes all over Lebanon. I believe Israel will make a point of striking Hizbullah military targets in Beirut if Hizbullah continues to attack northern Israel.
