This account is followed by an attempt to trace the factors that have shaped Israeli military thought. The explanations are a mixture of realist and non-realist factors, which can be found at both the systemic and the state level of analysis. At the systemic level, realist evaluations focus on factors such as the dominance of the technological dimension and the pervasiveness of asymmetrical, low-intensity conflict; whereas at the state level one can find realist explanations, cultural factors, and societal influences. Moral and legal constraints also factor into both the systemic and state levels. 410 0$aHistory of warfare ;$vVolume 107. 607 $aIsrael$xArmed Forces$xHistory$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a355.03355694 700 $aKober$b Avi$0882389 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511315303321 996 $aPractical soldiers$92553272 997 $aUNINA
