Geo-Strategic Assessment. Israel At War. Israeli Intelligence, its failure to warn ahead of the October 7 attack that Hamas will launch an offensive, correctly described a scenario in which Israel has to deal with simultaneous military challenges from several Iranian-directed fronts. It came to pass when Hezbollah, the Houthis and Syrian and Iraqi militias joined the fight, the latter also hitting American targets. For some 100-odd days, a vast regional conflagration was averted, but this could change in the coming days and weeks. Who are the players and what are the prospects?
