Operation Shield and Arrow: INSS Experts in a Special Podcast

INSS Managing Director Maj. Gen. (res.) Tamir Hayman speaks with INSS senior researchers Prof. Kobi Michael, Dr. Anat Kurz, Brig. Gen. (res.) Assaf Orion, and Yohanan Tzoreff about the operation that began with the targeted killing of three Islamic Jihad commanders. Was the Israeli action, which focused on Islamic Jihad rather than on Hamas targets, correct? What are its implications? Will Hamas join the campaign, despite the focus on Islamic Jihad, and if so, how? In addition, what are the chances that this time as well we will see a convergence of arenas, with escalation along Israel’s other borders?
