    Israel, Iran, And Hezbollah Manoeuvre In Military And Political Minefields

    Hezbollah and Iran are playing political and military defence in Lebanon. Militarily, Hezbollah has demonstrated that it may be down but is not out as a result of Israeli body blows in recent weeks, including the September 27 killing of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

    Has Gaza's Year Of Carnage Changed Anything?

    Since October 2023, with the support of the US and other Western allies, Israel responded to the October 7 attack with a campaign of aerial bombardment that devastated Gaza.
