Israeli officials hope a third Iran war avoids Gaza-style endless rounds

A Jerusalem Post analysis reports that senior Israeli officials hope their advantages over Iran will let a third war end decisively, rather than settle into the repeated "rounds" of fighting seen with Hamas in Gaza. The piece is based on officials' expectations, and the available text gives few operational details. It shows Israel is planning for further direct confrontation with Tehran, which keeps the Israel–Iran conflict, and the risk of wider regional war, at the centre of Middle East stability.
