The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have escalated military operations by targeting Mohammed Odeh, the newly appointed leader of Hamas's military wing in Gaza, following the elimination of his predecessor, Ezzedine al-Haddad. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has committed to dismantling Hezbollah as well, leading to a complex situation where Israel is engaged on two fronts. While Israel has historically managed such conflicts, the effectiveness of its strategies is under scrutiny. The recent targeted killings of Hamas leaders reflect a shift towards normalization of this approach, similar to actions taken in 2004. Despite significant losses, Hamas retains control over half of Gaza, where it governs around 2 million civilians. Meanwhile, Hezbollah poses ongoing threats, utilizing drone technology to evade Israeli defenses. The IDF's current multi-front conflict raises concerns about whether tactical successes will translate into strategic victories, as the Israeli public seeks clarity on the future of military operations in both Gaza and Lebanon.
