Kind of strength shown by Israel under pressure all around (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tensile

'kind of strength' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'israel under pressure all around' is the wordplay.
'israel' becomes 'il' (I've seen this in other clues).
'under pressure' becomes 'tense' (I've seen this in another clue).
'all around' indicates putting letters inside.
'il' put into 'tense' is 'TENSILE'.

'shown by' is the link.

(Other definitions for tensile that I've seen before include "Relating to stretching" , "Able to be stretched" , "Capable of stretching" , "Relating to tension" , "Capable of being stretched, kind of strength" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
