Israel Implements Advanced Defense Strategy
Israel has opted for a forward defense strategy, aiming to identify threats well before they pose a danger to its population on the other side of the border.
The buffer zones established by the Israeli military in Gaza and southern Lebanon have sparked tensions with Hamas and Hezbollah, who view the presence of Israeli soldiers as an occupation.
Similar defensive measures are being taken in Syria, where Israel has set up military outposts and demanded a demilitarized zone near its border.
In the West Bank, Israel has deployed tanks for the first time in over twenty years, intensifying anti-terrorism operations and creating controversy over the establishment of buffer zones around illegal settlements.
Israeli soldiers stationed along the Gaza-Egypt border face scrutiny as calls for withdrawal clash with Israel's commitment to long-term security measures to prevent arms smuggling by Hamas.
