Abstract

Campaign between wars or CBW is a term that refers to the set of offensive activities of the Israeli army in the last decade, mainly in Syria during the years 2013 to 2023. What started in 2013 as specific and targeted measures with a limited scope, has now turned into a broad campaign in terms of physical and geographical aspects. Although CBW brought advanced capabilities in intelligence and aerial operations to the Israeli army, but after a decade of implementation and considering the changes in the region, including the stabilization of Bashar al-Assad's regime, the thawing of relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Long-time enemies (such as Saudi Arabia) and the continuing distance of the United States from the region, the need to review and update the benefits of this campaign is felt in Israel; And that is in the situation that again and after the Al-Aqsa storm operation, there is a risk of starting a multi-front war for this regime. The main question that we seek to answer is whether the results of the wars are still in favor of Israel? Using the content analysis method, this study concludes that the current policy in CBW is not only the cause of creating the axis of resistance, but the series of actions of this campaign only provide a partial response to the resistance. According to the findings, the continuation of the implementation of this strategy strengthens the resistance groups'
