Maariv, the Hebrew-language newspaper, reported that Israel cannot achieve its goals against Iran with a new war. This media outlet emphasized that betting on the overthrow of the Iranian regime through a military attack is far from reality amid escalating tensions in the region and the possibility of new conflicts.
Final Victory in Modern Warfare
The report states that recent remarks by Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, linking complete victory to the destruction of the Iranian regime, demonstrate a disregard for the nature of modern warfare and the limitations of air power in overthrowing ideological political systems. Netanyahu has instructed the military to target Iran's 'final' defeat, but Maariv emphasized that imposing a decisive military defeat on a country with a vast geographical area like Iran requires extensive ground operations that Israel is incapable of.

Severe Consequences of a New War
This media outlet pointed out that conducting a new attack on Iran may increase the costs of confrontation and may not lead to the collapse of the Iranian regime. Instead, it could result in widespread destruction in Israel that affects the daily lives of people. Additionally, Tehran may launch missiles and drones towards Israel in collaboration with Hezbollah and other allies, thereby utilizing all its military capabilities.
Maariv also noted that potential attacks could target Israel's critical infrastructure, including civilian facilities, power plants, and desalination plants. Such attacks could cause significant damage to population centers and embroil Israel in a prolonged war of attrition.
In conclusion, this media outlet referred to Israel's international isolation and emphasized that ignoring the political and diplomatic consequences of any new escalation of conflicts is another risk that Israel faces. Maariv concluded that the assumption that a new military attack could lead to a 'decisive' victory over Iran is not based on realistic guarantees and that this attack would not only fail to overthrow the Iranian regime but would also increase Israel's security and economic burdens.
