Israel has been attacked by many sides, and tensions in the Middle East have resumed
Who would have thought that Israel, a military power in the Middle East, would suffer such a fierce attack? This makes one wonder if Israel's "Iron Dome" air defense system is not worthy of its name? More worryingly, will the attack trigger a larger conflict?
In mid-September 2024, Israel was attacked by the Houthis using Palestinian-2 hypersonic missiles. The attack caught Israel's air defense system by surprise, and the missile successfully broke through the defensive line, causing considerable damage to Israel. This incident immediately aroused great concern in the international community and also made the situation in the Middle East tense again.
Speaking of Israel's air defense system, it is the world-famous "Iron Dome". Since its inception in 2011, the system has been a proud defense weapon for Israel. It is capable of intercepting rockets and mortars from the Gaza Strip and protecting Israel civilians from harm. But this time, it failed to intercept a hypersonic missile launched by the Houthis.
Some experts believe that this may be because the speed of the "Palestine-2" hypersonic missile is too fast, which exceeds the interception capability of the "Iron Dome" system. This missile is said to be able to reach speeds of Mach 5-6, which is much faster than normal missiles. Moreover, its flight trajectory is also more complex, difficult to predict and intercept.
However, there are also questions about whether Israel's air defense system is malfunctioning or operating incorrectly. After all, the "Iron Dome" system has always been considered one of the most advanced air defense systems in the world, how can it not be able to stop even a single missile?
When it comes to the Houthis, this group is not a good group. It has taken control of Yemen's capital, Sana'a, since 2014 and has been battling a multinational coalition led by Saudi Arabia. So why did it go thousands of kilometers away to Israel to do something?
Some analysts believe that this may be related to Iran. It is no secret that Iran has been a major supporter of the anti-Israel camp. And the Houthis have very close ties with Iran. So, there is speculation that the attack may have been instigated by Iran.
There is also a theory that the Houthis want to use this operation to increase their international influence. After all, being able to successfully attack Israel, a military power in the Middle East, is definitely a big propaganda opportunity for the Houthis.
Whatever the reason, however, the attack has undoubtedly posed a new threat to peace and stability in the Middle East.
In the face of this sudden attack, Israel will certainly not sit idly by. The Israel Defense Forces have reportedly held an emergency meeting and decided to retaliate against the Houthis.
The Israel Air Force soon bombed Houthi targets in Yemen. However, the Houthis appear to have been prepared and adopted a strategy of dispersing their forces, which has greatly reduced the effectiveness of Israel's air strikes.
Some military experts believe that Israel may consider more aggressive military action, such as sending special forces to carry out decapitation operations. However, the risk of doing so is also high and it is likely to trigger a larger conflict.
As soon as this conflict broke out, it immediately attracted the attention of the international community. As an ally of Israel, Country M immediately expressed its support for Israel's self-defense actions. At the same time, however, he called on both sides to exercise restraint and avoid further deterioration of the situation.
The European Union, for its part, expressed concern and called on all parties to resolve the dispute through dialogue. Both Russia and China have also called on all parties concerned to remain calm and resolve the issue peacefully.
However, some countries have expressed dissatisfaction with Israel's approach. Iran has publicly expressed its support for the Houthis' actions as a just response to Israel's long-standing oppression of the Palestinian people.
To be honest, I don't think the prospects for this conflict are too rosy. Israel, as a military power, will certainly not swallow this breath easily. And with the Houthis backed by Iran, the Houthis are unlikely to compromise easily.
Even more worrying is the fact that the conflict is likely to trigger a ripple effect. Lebanon's Allah Party and some militia groups in Iraq have expressed their support for the Houthis in more attacks against Israel. If it does turn into a large-scale conflict involving multiple parties, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Still, we have to keep hope. After all, no country really wants to see the Middle East fall back into flames. It is hoped that all parties will calm down and resolve the dispute through diplomatic negotiations. Only in this way can we truly achieve long-term peace and stability in the Middle East.
