Ten years to Israel’s Campaign Between the Wars

It was either January or March of 2013, depending on whose definition, when Israel’s Air Force struck a target deep inside Syria, with no response from Damascus. This turned out to be the quiet start of what Israel called “the Campaign Between the Wars”, with the Hebrew acronym MABAM. Following hundreds of sorties, including near-weekly strikes against Iranian operatives and proxies, as well as Islamic State targets - it is time to take stock and ask whether MABAM was a success story? Is Israel better off for it? And, is it about to outlive its usefulness?

Guests Major General (Res) Gershon Ha-Cohen, IDF Army Corps Commander, Col. (Res.) Reuven Ben-Shalom, TV7 Powers-in-Play Panelist, Cross-Cultural Strategist and Associate at ICT, Reichman University, and Amir Oren.
