The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The clock is now ticking for Israel to put an end to the current war regardless of the chosen path. Either a quick cease-fire with Hamas or a major invasion of Lebanon are better options than allowing enemies on seven fronts to dissect its operations and test potential holes, so it's about time to wrap things up.

Establishment-critical narrative

That Yemeni forces have successfully conducted an airstrike on Israel is no novelty, but the hypersonic missile attack on Sunday amounts to a qualitative operation as the technological 'Made in Yemen' projectile was able to evade major defensive systems deployed that Israel and the US have deployed in the region. This is a victory for the resistance.
