In Israel there is little doubt a more immediate response how late his army was to the biggest attack of the history that the Hebrew country has suffered from Iran. And there is little doubt because senior Israeli officials They have now made it clear that Israel will not remain silent in response to Iran’s massive missile attack.
The Israeli Army assures that “There will be a severe response.” And he adds that “what Iran has faced so far is only a fraction of what it will face now.”
The entire civilian population of Israel has been forced to take refuge in bunkers in the face of the launch of nearly 200 missiles since the regime of the ayatollahs, which had never dared to do so much. But the first consequences have been almost negligible. Health authorities have reported a very low number of minor injuries from shrapnel and due to falls as they headed to the air raid shelters.
This Tuesday’s attack and Israel’s offensive on southern Lebanon are the culmination of an escalation of tensions that affects all Middle Eastern countries. Everything seems to indicate that this Tuesday’s bombing is a consequence of the Israel’s ground incursion into Lebanon and to the Israeli offensives against Iran’s allies in recent weeks.
Why has Iran attacked Israel?
Iran began to design the attack operation of the 200 missiles against Israel after the attacks on about 3,000 you search and numerous walkie talkies against Hezbollah terrorists. We must not forget that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization supported and financed by the ayatollah regime. And that Israel has attacked several positions in Beirut to destroy Hezbollah shelters, striking down its leader, Hasan Nasrallah.
Hezbollah is a central component of the so-called «axis of resistance» of Iran, which also includes other terrorist groups such as Hamas, in addition to the group of Shiites in Iraq, Syria and the Houthis in Yemen. This network that makes up the «resistance axis» rreceives logistical, economic and ideological support from Tehran. He has a markedly anti-American and anti-Israel ideology.
Before the massive bombing this Tuesday, Iran had warned that it would retaliate for the death of Ismail Haniye, Hamas’ number one, eliminated in an Israeli operation on Iranian soil this July.
Tehran’s first attack on Israel was last April, when Iran fired hundreds of missiles and drones in response to Jerusalem’s bombing of its consulate in Damascus.
Early this Tuesday, the Israeli armed forces began the intervention operation in southern Lebanon with the conflict in the Gaza Strip open. Behind these military actions by Israel is a broader geopolitical vision, with the United States recently warning about the possibility of an imminent attack by Iran and with its clear positioning and support for Israel.
The Middle East is once again a tinderbox of unpredictable consequences. It may remain local conflicts or there may be an all-out war between Iran and Israel.
