In a Thursday morning post, Abu Saleh, a Middle East analyst, wrote that Israel has decisively weakened its adversaries and that both sides are currently trading short blows without seeking a general war. He added that 'the gates of hell' will open only when the right intelligence arrives.
Abu Saleh, a Middle East analyst known for his Arabic-language analysis channel, published a Thursday morning assessment reflecting on the current trajectory of the conflict. He asserted that Israel has stripped its enemies of their capabilities—'no army, no navy, no air force, no missiles, no suicide drones'—and that 'we are winning, we hit them hard.'
According to Abu Saleh, both sides have reverted to a pattern of short, limited strikes without any appetite for a full-scale war, describing it as a mutual interest to 'hit but not reach all-out war.' He cautioned that this equilibrium will persist until a change in decision-making, and that the decisive escalation—'the gates of hell'—will only occur when the right intelligence arrives at the right time. The post reflects a continuation of the analyst's running commentary on the conflict, previously covered by The Zioneer.
