Its proxy groups may be delaying Israel’s ground invasion of Gaza
ANY CONFLICT in the Middle East involves a complex web of allies and enemies. The war between Israel and Hamas risks spreading beyond its current borders if militias backed by Iran—the “axis of resistance”—scale up their involvement. So far they have shown a degree of caution. But an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza could change that. Israel is well equipped to defend itself against Iran’s proxies.
It is particularly well stocked with small and nimble launchers that enable indiscriminate rocket fire. Such weapons are harder to counter with airpower, which means that Israel would need to send troops into Lebanon to be sure of stopping them. A war with Hizbullah would not only open a second front in Lebanon, but could also open a third further east in Syria, where the group and other Iran-backed fighters have bases. To the south Israel faces Houthi militants, who control Yemen’s capital.
