Israel is facing attacks on seven fronts, and the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has triggered turmoil in the Middle East
Recently, a series of attacks have taken place in the Middle East, making the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict more tense and complicated. Israeli Defense Minister Gallant said on Wednesday that Israel is facing attacks from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, Iraq, Yemen and Iran, forming seven fronts. He said Israel had acted on six fronts, without giving specific details. He also warned that Israel would respond resolutely to any threat to its security.
According to reports, there was an incident in Lebanese waters on Tuesday night, with witnesses reporting fires and thick smoke. There is information that this was caused by an Israeli submarine or drone attack on a ship carrying **. The Lebanese military and ** have not yet commented on this matter. Israel has also not admitted or denied involvement in the matter.
Iranian-backed Allah forces fired several missiles into northern Israel on Wednesday morning, triggering an Israeli counterattack. The Israeli military said its air defense system intercepted one of the missiles and the other two landed in an open field inside Israel with no loss of personnel or property. Israel then launched air and artillery strikes against Allah targets in southern Lebanon, striking missile firing locations and other military installations. Allah, for its part, claimed that its militants had successfully countered Israeli attacks without causing any**.
On the same day, Iranian-backed Houthis launched an attack on a Saudi-flagged merchant ship in the Red Sea, resulting in damage to the vessel. The Houthis said it was a response to Saudi aggression and blockade of Yemen. Saudi Arabia, for its part, condemned the Houthi attack, saying it threatened international shipping and regional security. Saudi Arabia also accused Iran of providing ** and support to the Houthis, inciting instability in the Middle East.
In addition, Yemen's Houthis claimed that they had launched a suicide drone attack against the southern Israeli city of Eilat. The Houthis said it was retaliation for Israel's oppression of the Palestinians. The Israeli military said it intercepted a hostile drone from the direction of the Red Sea and did not cause any damage. Israel also countered the attack, but did not disclose specific objectives.
There was also a drone attack in Suez, a coastal city on the Red Sea in Egypt, where a drone was shot down over the city and there were no people. It is not known where the drone came from and what it was for, and no organization or country has claimed responsibility. The Egyptian military and ** are investigating the matter.
At the same time, Israeli air strikes in Syria killed a senior general of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes in central Syria's Homs province on Tuesday night, targeting Iranian and Allah targets, Syrian officials reported. Israeli missiles were intercepted by Syrian air defense systems, but some still hit the target. Iran confirmed that one of its top generals, one of Iran's military advisers in Syria, was killed in the airstrike. The Israeli side did not comment on this matter, but Israel has always viewed Iran's presence in Syria as a threat to its security and has often struck at it.
On the other hand, the U.S. attack on Iraq also caused injuries to Americans. On Tuesday, the U.S. launched airstrikes on targets of an Iranian-backed militia group in northern Iraq, destroying its depot and command center, according to a statement from the U.S. Command. This is in response to the group's recent attacks on U.S. diplomatic and military facilities in Iraq. However, shortly after the airstrike, the group fired rockets at US bases in Iraq, causing minor injuries to one American. The U.S. said it would continue to respond to Iran's malicious actions and protect its personnel and interests in Iraq.
In addition, the Israeli military said that an armed group in southern Lebanon attacked a church inside Israel, injuring a civilian. The attack took place on Monday night, when militants used grenades and light ** in an attempt to infiltrate near the Israeli border. The Israeli military reacted quickly, exchanged fire with the militants, repelled their attack. The Israeli military said it was a premeditated terrorist attack aimed at disrupting the process of Palestinian-Israeli peace talks. At this time, the identity and background of this armed group is unclear, and no organization or state has admitted responsibility.
Finally, two attacks against Israel took place in northeastern Egypt and the Israeli embassy in India. On Monday, a car bomb attack on the Sinai Peninsula in northeastern Egypt destroyed a bus carrying Israeli tourists, killing four people and injuring more than a dozen. On Tuesday, there was an incident near the Israeli embassy in India, where there were no builders, but some vehicles and buildings were damaged. Neither attack had a clear goal or motive, nor did any group or country claim responsibility. Israel, for its part, said it was working with the authorities in Egypt and India to investigate the mastermind and purpose behind the attacks.
