What Israel’s defense industry learned from its multifront war

The Israeli military is on the verge of completing two straight years of operations across multiple fronts, the longest continuous conflict the country has ever endured.

Israeli forces were not prepared for the conflict. Rather, they were caught off guard on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas’s attack forever changed the course of the country.
