This was a very interesting podcast on the tactical aspects of victory over Hamas or Hizbollah, but you never really pursued the key to strategic victory, defeating Iran. Iran is the source of all these problems, funding (often with money given to them by the US) Hamas, Hizbollah and the Houthis. The US and the world community has enabled this by allowing the UN to fund pay-to-slay and children's books that inculcate the fervent belief that killing Jews is not only right, but a duty. Iran is the head of the snake. Hamas must be destroyed, but that is not enough. And not because Hamas is an idea, but because Iran is the source of that idea and funding to advance it around the world.

Iran has a population that is anti-theocratic but is dominated by the security apparatus of the theocracy. The opposition must be supported and encouraged to overthrow the Mullahs. Until then, Iran must be deprived of the resources to extend their vile reach. That, in fact, is the same strategy to enable the anti-theocrats to gain support. We need to start thinking strategically and get above the tactical fight which Israel has well in hand.
