The smoke of Iran's air strikes on Israel has not yet dissipated, and while all parties are waiting for Israel to retaliate, the "little bully in the Middle East" suddenly turns its head and kills other forces in the Middle East, and in the early morning of the 19th, Israel also launched a missile attack on Iran. According to RIA Novosti, the Israeli army suddenly launched a military operation in southern Lebanon, beheading the senior commander of the elite "Radwan Brigade" of Lebanese Allah. At the same time, the Israeli army once again turned its guns on Gaza, attacking the Gaza refugee camps, and the short-lived peace was once again shattered. Before accumulating energy to prepare for a large-scale attack on Iran, Israel wielded a butcher's knife and launched a thunderous sweep against the major anti-Israel forces in the Middle East, which also escalated the situation in the Middle East again. The latest news shows that Israel has launched retaliatory actions, and explosions were heard in the early hours of the same day in the Iraqi provinces of Baghdad and Babylon, the southern Syrian province of Suweida and the Iranian province of Isfahan. And just when Britain, the United States and other Western countries collectively lost their voices and connived at Israel's atrocities, the two major powers of China and Russia have successively made big moves.
As we all know, since the Iranian air strikes on Israel itself, Israel's wartime cabinet has made up its mind to retaliate against Iran. However, the top Israeli military and political leaders understand that Iran is a military power in the Middle East and has a powerful military that is not weaker than Israel. Therefore, while saying that it will attack targets on Iranian soil, Israel does not dare to take large-scale action and can only launch small-scale attacks with missiles, although it is deploying troops.
Relatively speaking, it is less stressful to weaken Iran's wings and strike at members of the Iranian-led "Arc of Resistance" until it is ready for a big war with Iran. Therefore, the Israeli army, which had previously withdrawn from Gaza on a large scale, launched another attack on the Gaza refugee camp and carried out massacres against civilians, which is actually a deterrent to Hamas and Iran. Just before that, the Israeli army also carried out an assassination operation against the family of Hamas leader Haniyeh. It can be said that although the Israeli army has moved away from Gaza, it has not changed its hostile attitude towards Hamas and the Palestinians.
As for the air strikes against Lebanon, the purpose of the Israeli army is more clear, that is, to fight the Lebanese Allah forces. Currently, Yemen's Houthis are active mainly in the Red Sea in the Iranian-led "arc of resistance", fighting with the US-British coalition, while Hamas is trapped in the Gaza region and has suffered a lot of damage from previous fighting. Therefore, the real threat to Israel itself is mainly the Shiite militias of Syria and Iraq, as well as the Lebanese Allah Party. The latter, in particular, was the first Middle Eastern armed group to openly support Hamas since Operation Al-Aqsa floods Allah, and is a major problem for Israel. Israel, which "retaliated with a tooth for tat", temporarily chose to attack the "weaker" Lebanese Allah party, also to boost morale and prepare for retaliation against Iran.
In the face of Israel's wanton killing in the Middle East, Britain and the United States naturally turned a blind eye and watched from the sidelines, but this gave China and Russia a great opportunity to intervene in Middle East affairs. First of all, for Russia, the Middle East has always been a key interest plate for the fighting nations, and Russia is an ally with Iran and Syria. Just after the end of Iran's air strikes on Israel, the Russian Navy sent frigates into the Mediterranean, a move aimed at forming a military deterrent to the US Navy in the Middle East.
At the same time, Russia has stepped up military cooperation with Syria. At present, the Russian Aerospace Forces have dispatched a number of Su-34 fighter-bombers, Su-35 heavy fighters, and A-50 early warning aircraft to carry out combat readiness patrols with the Syrian Air Force, not only to guard against the continuous air raids of the Israeli army, but also to deter the US military and pro-US forces in Syria. After years of civil war, the Russian-backed Assad government now controls 70 percent of Syria, while the U.S.-backed Syrian opposition remains entrenched in northeastern Syria. These pro-US rebels and Israeli forces are a threat to the Syrian government, and Russia will inevitably increase its military support for the Syrian government, expelling US troops first and then targeting Israel.
In addition to frequent military actions, China and Russia have also played against the United States and Israel on the diplomatic platform of the United Nations. Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev publicly criticized the "double standard" policy of the United States and Britain, severely refuted Israel's atrocities in Gaza, and accused the United States of inaction. At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin also held telephone talks with Iranian President Raisi. While supporting Iran's "legitimate exercise of the right to self-defense", China has made it clear on many occasions that it supports Palestine becoming a full member of the United Nations. On April 18, the UN Security Council voted on Palestine's accession to the United Nations, and although the United States, as a permanent member of the Security Council, opposed the draft resolution, the draft resolution was vetoed by one vote, but the general trend has become clear, and Israel, which is the enemy of the whole world, has already rebelled and separated from its relatives. Now that Israel has really retaliated against Iran, then Iran will never tolerate Israel, and it will be returned tenfold as promised, and it will come immediately.
