Three wars made blips on Israel’s radar screen this week, and then disappeared.
Israel conducts two out of the three against its will. One is the war against Iran’s nuclear plans, which played on the imaginations of many observers Oct. 6 when reports emerged about a tremendous and mysterious explosion at the secretive Iranian site in Parchin. The second, another quiet war, is waged against Hezbollah. It made an appearance this week for a brief moment in Israeli and Lebanese headlines when IDF forces confronted Lebanese armed operatives who entered Israeli territory at the Mount Dov area on Oct. 5. The third war is the one that Israel is waging of its own choice, and that is the war with the United States.
