Iran and Israel Face Limitations That Make Massive Escalation Unlikely
Many analysts watching the conflict in the Middle East have warned that the present fighting could escalate further. At the moment, such fears are concentrated on the prospect of a war between Iran and Israel.
Israel’s attacks in Beirut, and American complicity in them, has confirmed for many Lebanese how little they matter to the United States.
On September 29, Houssein Al Kadi, a soldier in the Lebanese army, left his brother’s house in Zboud, in northeastern Lebanon, at 8:15 a.m. to report to his military barracks three hours away.
Despite being caught in the cross fire, the Lebanese people overwhelmingly reject both Iran’s imposition of conflict and Israel’s bombardment. They stand abandoned by a caretaker government beholden to Hezbollah.
Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Parliamentary Speaker Nabih Berri are calling for a cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel. This is a ruse.
Graphic photos show Hamas leader and Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar lying lifeless in a pile of rubble after he was killed in a routine raid that caught him by chance and surprised soldiers.
Sinwar, the architect of the single deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, was among three militants killed Wednesday during a military operation in southern Gaza caught on dramatic video.
Latest Developments
The Israeli Ministry of Defense announced on October 15 that it held a trial to solicit technologies for countering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) launched by Iran-backed proxies. The ministry said that eight large and small companies participated in the trials, including Elbit Systems, Rafael, and Israel Aerospace Industries and startup firms. “After analyzing the trial results, the Defense Ministry will select several technologies to enter an accelerated development and production process,” the ministry’s announcement said. “This aims to deploy new operational capabilities within months.”
Israel announced Thursday that its soldiers have killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in a routine patrol in the southern Gaza Strip. Hamas confirmed the death a day later, adding that Sinwar had “died fighting and confronting the occupation army.” No official successor has been named.
Le vice-secrétaire général du Hezbollah cheikh Naim Qassem a prononcé ce mardi un discours qui a été retransmis par la télévision. C’est sa 3ème allocution depuis le martyre de son éminence Sayeed Hassan Nasrallah.
Il a commencé son discours en s’adressant au Grand martyr Sayeed Hassan Nasrallah :
Contrairement à une idée reçue, l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies n’a accepté l’adhésion d’Israël que sous condition (résolution 273). Or, Tel-Aviv n’a jamais respecté ses engagements. Il refuse d’appliquer 229 résolutions du conseil de Sécurité et de l’assemblée générale. Il vient de déclarer une agence de l’ONU «organisation terroriste», a appelé à raser son siège à New York, a désigné persona non grata son secrétaire général António Guterres, et vient d’attaquer quatre fois les forces de l’ONU au Liban (FINUL), blessant deux casques bleus.
Israël va poursuivre ses massacres pour atteindre ses objectifs immédiats, mais à long terme, le contrecoup du génocide condamne déjà l’État sioniste.
Le génocide d’Israël a alimenté les rangs de la résistance palestinienne, transformé Israël et les USA en parias méprisés, qui gagneront sans doute cette manche, mais ont signé à terme leur propre arrêt de mort.
Since the mid-1990s, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood have established a stronghold in the UK, despite the British government’s decision in 2001 to designate Hamas (including its political wing) as a terrorist organization.
