The Israeli military

Military History magazine (February/March issue) has a cover story of interest — "Is Israel Unbeatable?. The late Moshe Dayan is the cover boy.
The article, by David T. Zabecki, is a well done, though brief, overview of the wars of the Israeli State, from 1948 to the second invasion of Lebanon.
Zabecki's analysis is fair. He points out the strategic and tactical brilliance of the Israeli military but also comments on its lapses.
Zabecki writes that Israel's unique defense needs and many limitations have forced the military command to adapt a bold posture, relying on combined arms, intense training, quick mobilization, massed firepower and ruthless aggressiveness.
Hit fast. Hit hard. Get out.
When the Israelis have veered from this model, it has cost them. Witness the second Lebanon invasion, where an over reliance on airpower led to a weaker than necessary ground offensive
I would have liked to have seen Zabecki take a closer look at the importance of Israeli military intel in his piece, but overall it's a an interesting, informative article.
