The nature of warfare has changed over the years. Starting with the beginning of last century, all the conflicts involved soldiers fighting on the battlefield. After the second world war, nuclear weapons has acted as a strong deterrence from direct military escalation of two nuclear powers. Thus, a lot of the wars were fought via poxies. The same is true about the current Iran-Israel and Iran-Saudi Arabia proxy wars.

Israel has used them on numerous occasions for strikes against Iran. Currently we can see the development of a cyberwar that does not quite fit the previous classifications.
