Webinar:
Escalation on Israel’s Northern Border
Last week saw some of the most significant clashes between Israel and Hezbollah since the 2006 Lebanon War. The dangerous rise in tensions came in a context that included lethal Iranian attacks on shipping in the Gulf, multiple rocket launchings against Israel by Palestinian groups in southern Lebanon, wide scale political and economic turmoil in Lebanon, and the continued advancement of Iran’s nuclear program under newly-inaugurated hardline President Ebrahim Raisi. Please join JINSA Distinguished Fellow IDF MG (ret.) Yaakov Amidror and ALMA Founder and CEO Lt. Colonel (Res.) Sarit Zehavi to assess the connection between these developments and whether deterrence on Israel’s northern border is in danger of breaking down and triggering a broader multi-front war. This webinar will be moderated by JINSA Senior Fellow John Hannah. |
Wednesday, August 11 – 12:00pm EDT This webinar is open to the public. |
