Benjamin Netanyahu was quick to bask in the glow of Israel’s military success in Iran. Now he must turn his attention back to Gaza, a war in which the major strategic victories are far harder to find.

Weakened by a loss of commanders and much of its tunnel network, the group faces growing uncertainty over continued Iranian support after key Iranian figures were targeted by Israel.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, has avoided a truce in Gaza. Boosted by his Iran campaign, he can negotiate from strength.
