The Middle East has always been the most unstable region in the world, and the long-standing war between Israel and Palestine has turned the region into a veritable powder keg. The conflict between the two countries has been going on for a long time and is difficult to resolve, and coupled with the current world situation, there is a danger of a "big war" on both sides.
Just today, Hamas, a Palestinian Islamic resistance group, announced that it would launch the Al-Aqsa flood against Israel!
According to reports, at 6 a.m. today, Hamas militants launched a large-scale rocket attack in many places in Gaza, hitting Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other cities in Israel, which lasted nearly 30 minutes. Mohammed Deif, the leader of the Hamas army, said:
This is a retaliation to Israel's encroachment on our territory, and we want to prove to the Jewish people that their atrocities will be punished and that their days are over.
Israel** reported that when Hamas launched its offensive, Hamas militants captured a checkpoint in Erez and from there entered the southern Israeli city of Sderot. Some 60 Hamas personnel are now engaged in heavy fighting with Israeli forces in 14 areas of the city. According to eyewitnesses, the body of an Israeli soldier was being dragged and trampled on the ground in anger by the Palestinian people.
The Israeli Air Force's dangerous F-16 fighter jets, the Hamas Qassam Brigades, also claimed that they had captured more than 35 Israeli servicemen in Sderot and sent them to Gaza.
According to the latest statistics provided by The Times of Israel, more than 5,000 missile strikes have killed 22 Israeli citizens, injured more than 300 others, and seriously wounded 20 others. In Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa and other places, Israel's major hospitals are calling on people to donate blood to the injured.
The sudden attack by Hamas caught Israel off guard, and Israel's Defense Minister Jov Gallant said immediately after the attack
It was a huge mistake for Hamas to launch a "war" against Israel, the Israeli armed forces are fighting the enemy, their forces are in preparation, and we can certainly win this "war";
The military will launch an "iron sword" against terrorism in the Gaza Strip, and the "territory" of Israel within a radius of 80 km will be in a "state of emergency", and I have allowed the Israeli armed forces to immediately call up reserves to prepare for future "war".
At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel is currently in a "state of war" and that Hamas's bloody attacks on the Israeli population will inevitably end in failure; I've given orders to the military to kick those "** out of the residential area."
More than a dozen Israeli Air Force planes have flown into the Gaza Strip following statements by two senior Israeli ** aircraft to launch an air strike on a Hamas military target, and a Hamas security building was reportedly hit by a rocket.
Although the Israeli military has been building up its own "** strength, but because of the Hamas raids, until now, the Israeli military has still suffered considerable damage, a "Merkava" tank was destroyed, a combat vehicle, the Nagmakone armored car, dozens of soldiers, and a large number of soldiers, as well as a large number of civilians, these are the largest military personnel and civilians that the Israeli side has suffered since the Hamas military group came to power in 2007.
Hamas's military strikes against Israel are undoubtedly the most violent and tragic in the last 10 years, with the first wave of rocket attacks on the Palestinian side being more than all the wars that took place in October (more than 4,300 in total by Hamas last time);
Judging from the current situation, Hamas is fully prepared to break through the Israeli blockade in Gaza, and rocket artillery may be just an "appetizer", and there is an even more exciting battle ahead.
In addition to this, Hamas also picked a good time because Israel ** is facing a difficult legal reform, with thousands of Israelis taking to the streets to march against Netanyahu; Moreover, because of this incident, the Israeli military also broke the news of a lot of deserters, and the Gaza Strip, Israel has withdrawn, but they still have not given up the blockade of Gaza, building one high wall after another here, as well as countless monitors, sensors, monitoring devices, all of which are aimed at completely encircling the Israeli "enclave".
In this situation of internal and external troubles, this move by Hamas caught Israel off guard.
This is Israel's current predicament, and according to Hamas leader Saleh Aluri, there is another reason for Hamas's "sending troops", which is that the attack was a form of retaliation for the Al-Aqsa Mosque;
During the month of fasting in April, Israel** used non-lethal items such as sticks, rubber bullets, and shock bombs to kill more than 50 people and arrest more than 400 people during prayer at the Al-Aqsa Mosque;
The expulsion made the Palestinians feel even more humiliated, and in the course of the confrontation, they threw stones and fireworks at Israel**.
In the wake of the incident, there has been strong international criticism of Israel's violent actions, but the Israeli side has said that it is because they want to prevent militants from entering the base.
And on the issue of Hamas's military invasion, Israel's allies have also sided and harshly criticized Hamas's "terrorist acts", including:
Australia's *** long: wanton attacks on towns and citizens are real "terrorism";
France**: This "terrorist attack" is intolerable;
British Prime Minister: Israel has full power to defend itself.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel: We are disgusted by terrorist groups like Hamas, and the U.S. will definitely support Israel to defend their rights and interests;
European Union**: The missile attack by Hamas was a "most despicable act of terror".
Here are some of Hamas's supporters and regions:
Iran: We congratulate the Palestinian warriors on their early realization of freedom in Jerusalem;
Allah in Lebanon: The Hamas attack strongly reflects Israel's criminal behavior and congratulates Hamas.
I have a little opinion on this, it's all about fighting for their own homeland, Ukraine is a legitimate act, Russia is an act of aggression, Israel occupies so much land in Palestine, if he wants to take back the territory that belongs to him, it is "terrorism", according to which norms?
But it is difficult to say whether Hamas will represent Palestine in the end, because their ideas are inherently extreme.
