The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has now grown into an uncontrollable situation, with the recent Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip killing a Hamas commander on the spot.
At the same time, the Israeli side is also carrying out military operations against Syria, but what the Israeli side did not expect is that this time the action actually attracted direct action from Russia.
According to a report by the Daily Economic News, on May 8, local time, Israel issued a statement saying that its air force had been dispatched to bomb 100 targets in the area before its army entered Rafah in the Gaza Strip.
Subsequently, the 162nd Panzer Division was dispatched to attack Rafah, and the 401st Brigade of that unit now has full control of the Rafah crossing on the Gaza Strip side.
And according to the Israeli military, they launched an airstrike on the 7th and killed Ahmad Ali, the commander of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement's maritime combat force.
According to relevant reports, the Ahmed commander has been involved in directing attacks on the Israeli side on several occasions since the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
After the end of the Israeli beheading, a spokesman for the US State Department confirmed on 8 May local time that the US side had suspended military assistance to the Israeli side.
And U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin also said that the U.S. Senate testified against the Department of Defense's 2025 budget request that the U.S. side will continue to provide Israel with defensive weapons, but it is currently re-examining some of the aid that was originally destined for Israel according to the situation in Rafah.
In fact, the reason for the US side to do this is very simple, you must know that in the past, because of the US aid to Israel, a large number of civilians in the United States took to the streets to demonstrate.
According to a report by the Luzhong Morning News, demonstrations broke out on the campuses of many universities, including many well-known US universities, demanding that the US side not allow any more military assistance to Israel.
The unprecedented growth of this demonstration can be said to be attended by students from all major universities, so it is very likely that the United States has suspended its aid to Israel in order to ease the tension in the country first.
You must know that the time for the general election is coming soon, and so many demonstrators will seriously affect the selection of the next leader of the United States, and the United States has even begun to use force to arrest these people.
However, no matter what the purpose of the United States is, the end result is good anyway, but the Israeli side has also said that no matter what kind of pressure it faces, they will still carry out military action.
And the Israeli side is not only targeting the Gaza region, according to CCTV news reports, the Israeli side also carried out air strikes on the buildings of the Syrian security forces in the suburbs of the Syrian capital Damascus.
Eight servicemen were injured and some facilities were damaged as a result of the strike. This is not the first time that the Israeli side has done such a thing.
According to relevant reports, since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, the Israeli side has repeatedly carried out air strikes on targets in Syria under the pretext of striking Iranian military facilities.
The only thing Syria can rely on is Russia, a powerful ally, but at present, all countries in the world believe that Russia is not capable of assisting Syria in the face of pressure from Ukraine.
It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that Putin actually made a move at this time, and according to the relevant report of the Russian Satellite News Agency, the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed two militant bases hiding in Syria.
According to Major General Yuri Popov, deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of the Parties to the Syrian conflict, the Russian Aerospace Forces killed six militants and destroyed an ammunition depot and a warehouse of supplies in the attack.
It can be said that such an action by the Russian side has given a very clear message to the outside world, that is, the widely accepted idea that Ukraine is dragging Russia is very ridiculous.
The military strength of the Russian side is beyond doubt, and if it were not for the NATO countries led by the United States standing behind Ukraine, then this Russian-Ukrainian conflict would have ended long ago.
And now the Russian side has told everyone with practical actions that they are not dragged down by Ukraine and the forces behind it, but still have the ability to help Syria as an ally.
In the past, the United States launched more than a dozen air strikes on Syria in order to cover the Syrian rebels, but in the end they did not succeed.
Israel now wants to not only attack Hamas in Gaza, but also carry out military strikes against the Syrian side, counting on the United States to help it and use force to force the Syrian side to comply.
But Russia's actions can be described as a wave of blows to Israel, and it is clear that for Russia, Syria's position is very important, and if they finally turn to the United States, then Russia will be threatened like never before.
And Russia is, after all, a military power, and their military strength is far from being able to be held back by a single Ukraine, even if Ukraine has always had the support of the United States behind it.
It can be said that the current situation in the Middle East has become more and more tense, and it can be seen from the previous tearing up of the UN Charter among the Israeli representatives that it is basically impossible for the Israeli side to hold peace talks.
Therefore, it is still unknown what the situation in the Middle East will develop in the future, but what Israel wants to do to the Syrian side, Russia will certainly not do what they want, and Russia has already proved their capabilities with practical actions.
