Israeli preparedness amid heightened tensions

Earlier this week, Israelis braced themselves for a flare-up along the countries northern border. The leader of Iran’s Lebanese-proxy Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, promised retaliation for certain Israeli actions a week prior. In the events, Nasrallah made good on his pledge – yet, the incident ended without casualties – a fact that mitigated prospects for further escalation.

Is the tension really over, or is it just a temporary respite? To analyze this question, we are joined by Dr. Eran Lerman vice president of the Jerusalem Institute of Strategy and Security and a lecturer at Shalem College, and Prof. Efraim Inbar; President of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security. Analyst Amir Oren. Host Jonathan Hessen.
