Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat. This is the definition in Wikipedia and this is how it is used.
But this usage masks a more important lesson. "In both Epirote victories, the Romans suffered greater casualties, but they had a much larger pool of replacements, so the casualties had less impact on the Roman war effort than the losses had on the campaign of King Pyrrhus."
How is Israel going to win in the long run? This is the middle east where hate remains pure over many centuries. Technical superiority cannot last,and reliance on technology did not stop the 7 October massacre of last year.
