Letters (unsigned) from Israel

(To Gino Lanzara)

Jerusalem shows off its ability to hit two notable, distinct and distant points in 24 hours.

These are hammer blows that annihilate a high level of Hezbollah in Beirut, and the political leader of Hamas in Tehran, who came specifically to pay homage to the new president Pezeshkian.

After the Majdal Shams massacre, struck by mourning for the death of 12 teenagers killed by an Iranian-made rocket in a football field, Israel's targeted, measured response arrived; a feared response and for which it was required to evaluate the intensity of the force used in the retaliation.

Signature and surgical precision are evident, clear, far from the skirmishes of the shadow play staged so far. Impossible to mislead, also because the execution of the operations is so clear that the signature at the bottom is clear.

The messages are different.

The first - October 7 remains a warning for everyone, both for those who were unable to predict and for those who crossed the border: everyone will have to remember the inevitable consequences of the sudden awakening of Moshe Dayan's mad dog.

The second - The all-round area military power remains Israel, capable of striking from a distance, penetrating enemy defenses.

The third - Israel wants to instill fear in its enemies. And he succeeds, because he gets everywhere, without difficulty. Even in his enemy's house.
