It’ll be over by Christmas” is an old saying from the first months of World War I. That war lasted from July 1914 to November 1918—almost four and a half years. To Israel’s leaders’ credit, they have never said such a thing about our war. When it began a year ago, with the brutal attack on October 7, neither Christmas nor any Jewish holy day was mentioned as a possible end date. The war started on a holy day, and when it ends it will be a different type of holy day—that is, if Israel ends up winning it.

Israel's conflict with Iran has emerged from the shadows. Israel's challenge will remain what it has long been—stay at least one step ahead of the enemy.
