Israel Brief: Tuesday, January 13
Israel buys hours as Tehran threatens and Hamas measures response.
Shalom, friends.
Tehran is trying to finish its crackdown under blackout while Washington debates whether strong options are real options. Gaza keeps behaving like a battlefield that learned to wear a lanyard and juggle a clipboard. Lebanon keeps advertising “state control” while Hezbollah rebuilds anyway. Add reserve strain, court friction, and a storm system that doesn’t care about your politics, and you get well… here’s the dashboard.
