Abstract
- What started as opportunistic operations has gradually given rise to Israel's prevailing military doctrine of Inter-War Campaigns (IWC). This article provides a comprehensive analysis of a phenomenon that has shaped conflicts in the Middle East, one that has been overlooked in the literature. The IWC utilises advantageous conditions to formulate continuous military campaigns below the threshold of severe conflict. This article argues that the IWC creates and manages limited competitive conflicts intended to mitigate adversaries' force buildup in preparation for war. It provides the first account of the doctrine's development, analyses its enabling factors, and discusses its degree of success. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
