    Not really, they’re good at shooting missiles and drones and striking dual use targets that aren’t in Israel.

    The war was lost before the first shot was fired

      Israel is good at airstrikes and killing babies but no country ever won a war with airstrikes alone .

        Israel is good at war full stop

        The reason the Iran war was lost is because ground troops would never be committed and all side knew that going in.

            The US lost before the conflict was initiated because there was no plan and no political will especially for troops on the ground.

            Israel lost because they split their ground forces to subdue a immediate threat.

            I’m quite sure Iran will be revisited in the next decade or so. If the Persians keep striking gulf states I don’t see a way to prevent them from using all that American tech to exact a price.

            There isn’t a power in the region that can remove Israels military capacity. The larger question is what’s next, Bibi is either incompetent or a moderate since his opponents seem to want a harder war.

            Once they create buffer zones on their border I’m sure they’ll revisit their Iran problem with or without US “help”

              The US lost before the conflict was initiated because there was no plan and no political will especially for troops on the ground.

              I am pretty sure first trying to make a civil war by arming a group of Iranians within the country (I am not trying to say that all protesters or the majority of protesters were armed), a decapitation of the leadership, and trying to make the Kurds fight for the USA are called plans dumb ones, but still plans. The reality is that there is no realistic plan to win against Iran.

              Israel lost because they split their ground forces to subdue a immediate threat.

              You are basically admitting that Israel do not have enough manpower to handle Hezbollah and Hamas and Iran all at the same time .

                Israel can’t fight a three pronged war (Syria, Lebanon, and Iran) what it can do is created a cushion and give the IDF some breathing space. This war is likely to remain evergreen for the foreseeable future.

                    They don’t have resistance from Lebanese and Palestinian army either, only very brave freedom fighters.
