Continued: "Both the 2011 Libya intervention and the 2013 Mali intervention made it painfully clear that even existing levels of defense cooperation within Europe have not allowed European states to achieve minimal expeditionary requirements without outside assistance."

[Sim Tack @SimTack]

Continued: "During the Cold War, the emphasis was on cumulative cooperation to mass capabilities to counter potential Soviet aggression. Today this has shifted to complementary cooperation to combine partial capabilities into a minimal required expeditionary capability."

[Sim Tack @SimTack]

Continued: "through a plethora of defense cooperation initiatives, European states eventually try to move towards a level of cooperation that can meet the expeditionary requirements their common security strategy leans on."

This heatmap shows that mortar and rocket fire into #Israel was still concentrated heavily on the very immediate perimeter of the #Gaza Strip, with fewer rocket volleys targeting communities farther away.

[Force Analysis @ForceAnalysis]

Over the past 24 hours, #Israel has witnessed the highest volume of mortar and rocket fire out of #Gaza since 2014. At this point, rocket and mortar fire is contained to the area 20km and closer to the Gaza Strip, indicating no advanced artillery rockets like the Fajr were used.

Despite hard words between #Israel and #Iran, the conflict between the two is unlikely to escalate beyond limited military actions in #Syria at this point.
