Analysis: Hamas can claim a win with its repeated rocket strikes on center of country and its rebranding as defender of al-Aqsa but has no military success to tout, while IDF must show it achieved its objectives in destroying Hamas capabilities, severely damaged motivation to launch future attacks

Analysis: Ynet's commentator Ron-Ben Yishai says IDF unlikely to send in ground forces unless terror group ruling Strip carries out a 'catastrophic' attack while veteran military pundit believes 'both sides would like to end this and go home'

Opinion: As part of the IDF's new and deadly multi-faceted combat doctrine, the Israeli military cunningly convinced Gaza terrorists and the world it had launched a ground attack on the Palestinian enclave, making its adversaries expose their positions and dealing them a severe blow

Analysis: The riots in Jerusalem and the Arab sector, coupled with Israel's leaders being caught completely off guard by Hamas' missile capabilities, risk giving Iran and Hezbollah ideas far deadlier than what has been witnessed so far
