Six months of war of destruction against Hamas in Gaza: Israel has three open fronts with an uncertain future. It faces a growing threat of war against the Hezbollah militia in the north and the risk of an Iranian attack in retaliation for those killed in the attack in Syria.

"Whoever harms us or plans to harm us, we will harm him," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "Over the past six months, the people of Gaza have endured unfathomable suffering," says UN humanitarian coordinator.
