"Israel" is suffering strategic erosion on multiple fronts, its deterrence has been severely devoured, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence on remaining in lockstep with US President Donald Trump has left the Israeli military operating with shackled hands while settlers in the north pay the price, Israel Hayom reported.

The newspaper acknowledged that what is being described as a “war achievement” is in fact nothing more than “strategic erosion". It noted a prevailing sense of anxiety within the Israeli military leadership this week, driven by events that have “severely devoured” "Israel’s" deterrence capability.

'Lack of purpose, horizon' in Lebanon

On the Lebanese front, Israel Hayom revealed deep frustration within Israeli ranks regarding the current situation. The report cites a “lack of purpose and horizon” alongside the military’s failure to deliver on its promises to eliminate Hezbollah and restore calm to the northern settlements.

Adding to this, Israel Hayom military analyst Yoav Limor wrote: "Hezbollah fired in a calculated and measured manner at the start of the battle, while in Israel, they rushed to exploit the event to attack it, as they had hoped to do for months in order to weaken it and hinder its rehabilitation."
