The news on April 5, 2024 has the whole world focused on the escalation of tensions in the Middle East.
On April 5, a peaceful day was suddenly shattered by a piece of news: Iran's embassy in Syria was attacked by an Israeli bomb, and the news came out like a thunderclap on the ground.
In this sudden attack, the Iranian military lost several heavyweight generals. This is no small matter, and the fall of a top leader in the military overnight is a major blow to any country.
The situation did not subside, and tensions quickly spread in the Middle East after a terrorist attack on Iran's military headquarters in Syria.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spoke out in deep sorrow, and this voice was supported not only by Iran, but also by countries such as Syria, Jordan and Iraq. You know, this is not just an empty statement, this is a strong expression of will - Iran wants to make Israel "pay".
How could the United States, as the world's big intelligence brother, not know about the changes in the situation? Their intelligence agencies immediately issued an urgent notice predicting that Iran might retaliate against Israel within 48 hours. Think about it, this warning is like a sword of Damocles hanging over your head, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
It was at this time that cities in southern Israel were hit by rocket fire. First, in the city of Netiwater, two rockets flew from the Gaza Strip, but fortunately, the Israeli "Iron Dome" air defense system worked to intercept them, avoiding possible casualties and property damage.
But that's just the beginning. On the same night, the cities of Sderot and Ashkelon were also hit by rocket attacks, and residents were awakened by the sudden sound of air raid sirens. The Israeli military reacted quickly, and fortunately no news of casualties came out. But this spate of attacks is undoubtedly sending a clear signal to Israel that tensions have escalated.
The eyes of the international community are focused on the Middle East, with governments and international organizations calling for restraint. But even so, the situation remains tense. Israel and neighboring countries are closely watching Iran's every move, after all, any small spark can trigger unpredictable consequences.
The news came that Iran had dispatched hundreds of drones and missiles on an unprecedented scale. There is a bit of solemnity in the warnings of the United States: Iranian retaliation is already on the way, the clock is ticking, and the 48-hour countdown is terrifying.
In this tense atmosphere, any small action can be interpreted as a prelude to war. Iran's warning has caused international resonance – "Israel will be slapped in the face" is not only a threat to Israel, but also a declaration to the whole world that Iran will not give up easily.
Israel, of course, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and their army began to conscript, preparing for a possible Iranian retaliation. The entire Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are preparing intensively, with military bases, air defense systems, and combatants, all in full swing.
Iran, on the other side, is also acting. IRGC missiles are being secretly and rapidly moved to the front lines. In the silence, the clouds of war quietly gathered, and the breath of battle grew thicker and thicker. These missiles silently convey Iran's determination and anger.
During the night, the IDF issued a statement announcing the attack on the southern city. This statement, though brief, is like Pandora's box, opening up people's infinite speculations and worries about what may happen in the future.
The situation is moving so fast that everyone doesn't have time to react more. One can only keep an eye on the news, following every turmoil in this land of the Middle East. What will be the outcome? Peace or war? These questions hang on everyone's mind, and the answer seems to be in the future.
