The former commander of the US Central Command tells Al Majalla about the changing nature of war, terrorists' use of technology, and the role of the US in the Middle East

Although most drones and missiles were shot down, Israel might not have been so successful without the help of its allies. Al Majalla explains how 13 April reset the regional power balance.

If this new capability is embraced and integrated into offensive naval arsenals, it will be a significant force multiplier in future wars. Al Majalla explains how.

Al Majalla dedicates its June cover story to the topic of drones, exploring their growing importance in Middle East warfare and the fierce competition for drone supremacy among regional states

The Middle East has become a leading manufacturing hub for these weapons. Who are the countries leading this race?

Are these weapons changing the character of war?

When the PLO leader was forced out of Beirut in the 1980s, he did so with pride, purpose, and sorrow. After signals that Hamas leaders may be exiled from Gaza, could history be a guide?

Military might alone has rarely been enough to end conflicts. History shows that there is no military solution without a political one.

Since 7 October, Gaza's rulers have gone from trumpeting its Al-Aqsa Flood attack to untrumpeted offers to lay down its weapons and become a political group only. It is a dramatic change of stance.

The answer is a resounding no. But an achievable objective is to turn it into a marginal irritant instead of a major threat.
