Tensions between Israel and Iran have reached a boiling point, with Israel launching significant strikes against Iranian targets amidst growing public support for military action among Jewish Israelis. As Prime Minister Netanyahu faces political challenges at home, his government has rallied the nation, emphasizing the need for self-defense against perceived threats from Tehran. Critics, however, warn that while the initial military operations may appear successful, the long-term implications remain uncertain, and many Israelis fear the deepening conflict could lead to an extended war. The civilian cost of this conflict is becoming increasingly evident, as ordinary Israelis navigate the tumult of missile attacks and military responses, prompting a divided response among the population with stark differences between Jewish and Arab citizen sentiments. As Netanyahu continues to leverage national unity against Iran, questions linger about the endgame of this aggressive strategy and its potential ramifications for both countries and the broader Middle East.
