Escalating Tensions Between Israel and Iran

Israeli military tensions with Iran and its proxies, including Hezbollah, are escalating, marked by recent IDF drills simulating long-range strikes and Hezbollah showcasing its missile capabilities. Israeli jets conducted mid-air refueling exercises, indicating preparations for potential strikes deep into enemy territory. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett criticized current Prime Minister Netanyahu's strategy, advocating for direct action against Iran rather than its proxies, and suggesting a regime change in Tehran to prevent further threats. Bennett also proposed humanitarian measures for Palestinians while targeting Hamas militarily through persistent raids. Meanwhile, the nonprofit INEXTG continues its efforts to strengthen Jewish identity among Israeli youth during critical life stages. Bennett's increasing popularity in polls suggests significant public support for his approach to Israel's security challenges.
