centre of gravity

The Israeli military's chief of staff vowed to "continue striking Hamas's centres of gravity until it is defeated" and its hostages freed.

Remember more than half of Labour's MPs – 243 out of 406 – are completely new, so understanding their centre of gravity is hugely important.

Defence Minister Yoav Gallant meanwhile said Israel was “opening a new phase in the war” and that the “centre of gravity is shifting to the north through the diversion of resources and forces”.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant told troops on Tuesday that the military’s “centre of gravity” was gradually shifting from Gaza and to the Lebanese border.

Whatever the factchecks, whatever economists say, they want the centre of gravity of the whole campaign to be on their terrain.
