Israel's predicament deepened, and the Israeli army was strangled on seven fronts at the same time, and none of them were easy to provoke
Israeli Defense Minister Gallant recently indicated that Israel is facing a complex war situation from multiple directions, including potential threats from seven different directions, including the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran.
He noted that on these seven fronts, Israel has already responded, confronting six of them accordingly. Any force that takes hostile actions against Israel will be a potential target for Israel.
It should be added that Israel's so-called "response" does not mean that it will carry out substantive combat operations in places such as Yemen, Lebanon and Iran, but that it is confronting the armed forces in these seven regions.
The current situation shows that Israel is indeed facing a multi-front siege, and that these seven battlefields do not exist in isolation, but are intertwined and mutually reinforcing.
First, the conflict between the Gaza Strip and Hamas lasted for more than two months, with multiple rounds of fighting between the two sides. The Israeli army has penetrated deep into the Gaza Strip and launched a ground operation to try to cut off the Gaza Strip along the Gaza Dry River and then destroy the Hebei region, leaving Hamas with nowhere to hide. However, Hamas continues to attack Israeli targets through underground passages, causing losses to Israeli forces.
Secondly, in the Lebanese direction, Israel faces attacks from Lebanese Allah. Lebanese Allah in solidarity with Hamas has repeatedly fired rockets at Israeli positions close to the border, to which Israel has responded with air strikes and shelling.
There are reports that Israel considered launching a preemptive strike against Allah in Lebanon, but was blocked by Biden on the grounds that it did not want a "large-scale war". Netanyahu denied the claim, claiming that the decision was Israel's own and had nothing to do with the United States.
In the Syrian direction, Israel is also under pressure. Syria regularly fires rockets from the Golan Heights into northern Israel, and Israel responds with airstrikes, even killing a senior Iranian general in the latest airstrike, causing a strong ** from the Iranian side.
Although the West Bank is not the main battlefield, it has become a target for the Israeli military. In addition to the ground operation in Gaza, Israel has launched a large-scale military operation in the West Bank against Hamas and other groups, capturing large numbers of Palestinian youth.
At the same time, Yemen's Houthi rebels, which guard access to the Red Sea, attacked Israeli-linked vessels. The Houthis used anti-ship missiles and drones to attack Israeli merchant ships, raising concerns in Israel.
As for Iraq, despite being separated from Israel by Jordan, Iraqi Islamic Resistance Group claims to have struck Israeli gas platforms in the Mediterranean Sea for the first time, raising regional tensions.
Finally, Iran, which is not directly involved in the fight against Israel, has close ties to Hamas, Allah and the Houthis and provides support. Although Iran stands behind the scenes, its support, assistance and orchestration have become part of the fight against Israel.
On the whole, Israel is facing a grim situation and is under siege on multiple fronts. Netanyahu may continue to act resolutely to preserve his political career, but the attitude of the military and political top brass is still difficult**.
