Does the escalation of war behind IDF air strikes on Lebanese Allah infrastructure mean? On 31 October, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced an air strike on Allah infrastructure in Lebanon. This is the first time since the outbreak of the Israeli war that Allah's arsenal has been destroyed and marks a tougher attitude on the part of Israel. Previously, Allah had been firing rockets and shelling at Israel, which had responded considerably. This time, however, Israel's response was clearly either not to do it or to make a big one. Meanwhile, in Yemen, the Houthis announced that they had fired multiple missiles into southern Israel earlier in the day, saying it was their third attack on Israel and that more attacks would be carried out in the coming hours, days and weeks. However, the Houthis' capabilities are not actually sufficient to operate these more advanced missiles, which are known to come from Iran. Sure enough, a Houthi missile fired at Israel hit Jordan. The missile reportedly flew over Saudi territory and exploded in Jordan areas.
Earlier, Jordan had asked the United States to transfer two Patriot air defense systems to it, indicating that Jordan was both self-aware and aware that the biggest threat did not come from Israel, but from Iranian forces. The Houthis fired missiles with greater accuracy than previous Iranian missiles fired at US military bases, which were actually intended to be fired at US military bases, only to be smashed everywhere from miles away. This could mean that the Houthis are just putting on a show, signaling to Hamas and its supporters that they have taken action, and they don't care how effective it is. Apparently, they also realize that Iran does not even dare to provoke Israel, their minds are not flexible. In response, Iran's mission to the UN warned that coalition forces such as the Houthis in Yemen could expand their actions against Israel due to Israel's attack on Gaza. However, this warning from Iran does not seem to be as tough as previously suggested. Does this mean that Iran has become weak? In summary, the escalation of the war between Israel and Lebanon and the Houthi attacks on Israel all hint at an escalation of tensions in the Middle East. However, Iran's statements do not seem to be as forceful as before.
How should we see the development of this conflict in this context? Do you think tensions in the Middle East will escalate further? Please leave your comments. Israel conducted an air defense interception operation over the Red Sea, with the goal of intercepting a number of hostile drones and land-attack cruise missiles. This is the first time since the war began that Israel has used the Arrow air defense system, which was also practiced in March 2017. While Hamas is being wiped out with all its might, Israel's attacks on the Houthis can only be intercepted by air defense, and the Houthis are separated by 2,000 kilometers from Israel. In fact, if the Houthis were adjacent to Israel, they would have been beaten to pieces by Israel long ago, and they would not have had the opportunity to attack Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The Houthis exchanged fire with Saudi forces that day, killing four Saudi soldiers. Previously, Saudi Arabia helped intercept a missile fired at Israel by the Houthis, who expressed hope that Saudi Arabia would use the channel to attack Israel, suggesting that Saudi Arabia would prefer to cooperate with Israel for these Iranian-affiliated forces. Summary: Israel acted to intercept hostile drones and missiles, using the Arrow air defense system for the first time.
The Houthi assault on Israel is only support for Hamas. The Houthis exchanged fire with the Saudis, who chose to cooperate with Israel. What are the Iranian militant intentions behind it, and what impact does this incident have on the situation in the Middle East? Please leave a comment.
