How will Israel’s decades-long assassination policy continue?

Israel has a longstanding policy of targeted killings against adversaries, a practice that has intensified against Iranian officials since hostilities escalated between the US and Iran. Senior Iranian figures have been assassinated as part of this campaign, which reflects Israel's broader security doctrine of eliminating perceived threats through covert operations. The assassinations represent a continuation of decades-old Israeli tactics that have historically targeted militant leaders and government officials deemed threats to national security. This approach raises questions about the sustainability and regional implications of relying on extrajudicial killings as a primary counterterrorism strategy. The practice underscores the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, which have periodically flared into direct confrontation despite the two nations not sharing a border.
