Maybe less so to warfare. There have been cases of notable success by "striking at the center". Such as the US pacific theater in WW2, and MacArthur's invasion of Inchon.
I think for this to be analogous "the center" is the concentration of greatest military force, while the strikes you mention merely appear to be at the center because they are at the physical middle and places where supplies emanate from. Striking lines of communication and island hopping is hacking away at the edges of the enemy military.
