The temporary extension of the ceasefire between Palestine and Israel for two days is undoubtedly good news and the news that the world wants to see the most. However, although the ceasefire between Palestine and Israel continues, the game in the Middle East has not stopped, and the conflict around Palestine and Israel has not ended. Iran, Allah and the Houthis continue to attack Israel, and Israel has not stopped attacking them. The Palestinian-Israeli ceasefire is only one of the de-escalations of the conflict, and the fighting continues.
Iran has given strong support to Palestine in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and by providing assistance to armed groups such as Hamas, even if Israel has ceased fire with Hamas, this does not mean that Iran has stopped its attacks on Israel. Iranian drones flew directly over the US aircraft carrier formation, issuing the most severe warning; Allah in Lebanon continues its attacks on Israeli targets. The Israeli side has also hit back, raising regional tensions.
Israel dispatched F-16 fighter jets to forcibly break into Syrian air defense and carry out airstrikes against Iranian transit stations at Damascus airport and surrounding Iranian targets. Despite the fact that Syria has built a powerful air defense array with the help of Russia, in the face of a surprise attack by Israeli fighters, the Syrian air defense missile system did not perform as well as it could effectively intercept Israeli missiles, which led to the successful implementation of air strikes by F-16 fighters. Although the Syrian side claimed to have intercepted most of the Israeli missiles, it still caused serious damage, and the Damascus airport was temporarily suspended.
Iran's support for Hamas is not just rhetoric, but deeds. Iran not only supplies Hamas with ** and ammunition, but also openly supports attacks against Israel by Lebanese Allah, the Houthis, Syrian and Iraqi forces, among others. Israel has also not given up its crackdown on Iranian-backed militant groups, targeting Iranian material transit depots, warehouses and Iranian-affiliated armed camps. Israel has also frequently dispatched warplanes to carry out air strikes on Syria and other countries, striking Iranian war material transit stations and Iranian-affiliated targets. Although Israel's strikes do not completely restrict Iranian material shipments, they have undoubtedly increased regional tensions.
Despite the fact that Israel occupied the Gaza Strip and gained certain territorial benefits, it was strategically isolated and could be described as a strategic defeat. Israel faces numerous challenges and pressures, and it will become more difficult to advance the rapprochement process with countries such as Saudi Arabia in the short term, and Israel will face even greater trouble once the United States declines.
To sum up, the Palestinian-Israeli ceasefire is only a relief from the conflict, and the game in the Middle East continues. Iran's support for Israel has not stopped, and Israel continues to fight back. Syria's air defense system is facing challenges, and Israeli air strikes are increasing regional tensions. Israel faces greater challenges and isolation, while Iran seeks to establish a new world order in the Middle East.
