After five days of exchanging blows, Israel and the minor but well-equipped Gaza-based organisation Palestinian Islamic Jihad stopped this particular round, another in a seemingly endless series. As expected, both sides issued self-serving claims of victory. Obviously, propaganda and politics aside, they each have different standards by which to measure their respective balances, as does the major force in Gaza, Hamas, but what are the more objective lessons learned from this confrontation, in the military and diplomatic realms?
Guests Brigadier General (Res.) Doron Gavish, Former Air Defense Chief, Israel Air Force, Colonel (Reserve) Dr. Anan Wahabi, Senior Fellow at ICT Reichman University and Lecturer at Haifa University and Amir Oren. Host Miri Eisin.
