Israel-Hamas war
Hamas terrorists launched a massive surprise attack against Israel on the morning of October 7 by firing rockets from the Gaza Strip. Hamas fired about 7000 rockets from the Gaza Strip targeting Israel’s border areas. This is considered to be one of the biggest attacks on Israel in the last few years. Hamas gunmen broke Israel’s security barriers in Gaza and attacked civilians. In response to the deadly infiltration of Hamas terrorists, Israel launched rapid air strikes on the Gaza Strip, which continues for the sixth day. Israel’s heavy bombardment has caused widespread devastation in Gaza. More than 3000 people have been killed so far in the Israel-Hamas war.
Israel–Lebanon conflict
A day after a surprise attack by Hamas, Lebanon’s powerful armed group Hezbollah also exchanged artillery and rocket fire with Israel. Hezbollah said it launched rockets and artillery fire at three Israeli positions in Shebaa Farms “in a show of solidarity” with the Palestinian people. Senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine sympathized with the people of Gaza and said, ‘Our history, our guns and our rockets are with you.’ Firing between Israel and Hezbollah continued for the fourth day on Wednesday. The Israeli army said one of its northern areas was attacked by an anti-tank missile from Lebanon. Earlier this week, Hezbollah said three of its members had been killed in Israeli strikes in south Lebanon.
Israel-Syria conflict
The Israeli army said on Tuesday that several shells have been fired towards us from Syrian territory. There is no news of any casualty. As the conflict between Israel and Hamas has escalated, with Lebanon and Syria also targeting Israel, fears of the situation turning into a broader regional war have also increased. Additionally, there is uncertainty over the role of Iran, which has been vocal in support of the Palestinians. Iran, for its part, has denied any active involvement in the Israel–Hamas war. Meanwhile, India has started ‘Operation Ajay’ to bring back its citizens stranded in Israel safely.
