JERUSALEM, Israel – Israel’s war for survival continues on both of its northern and southern borders, and the Israel Defense Forces seem to be progressing on both fronts. In the south, hundreds of Hamas fighters have either surrendered or been eliminated in recent days. Given the progress, many are now considering what comes after the Gaza war ends.Reportedly, Israel plans a long-term presence in Gaza to gather intelligence, to operate militarily where needed, to establish a buffer zone, and to entirely crush the Hamas military.In the north, the war against Hezbollah has expanded to Syria, where it manufactures weapons for Hezbollah.IDF Chief Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari declared, “We will attack any attempt to transfer weapons from Syria to Hezbollah and we will attack any infrastructure we identify in Syria that is intended to produce weapons for Hezbollah.”
