Middle An looks like a “dust warehouse”.ain anticipation of Israel’s ground invasion of Gaza and while Iran warned today, Sunday, the US and Israel that the situation could spiral out of control if the two countries “do not immediately end the crimes against humanity and genocide in Gaza”.
The first clashes between Hamas and the IDF have already taken place inside the Gaza Strip.
Specifically, army spokesman Daniel Hagari said that, during a raid on the Gaza Strip to free hostages one soldier was killed and three others were wounded, one lightly and two more seriously, from an anti-tank gun fired at the tank.
Earlier it was known that “shots were fired at soldiers operating west of the security fence of the Gaza Strip, in the Kisufim area.” Kibbutz Kisufim, in Israel, is located east of Khan Younis, in Gaza.
For its part, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced on Sunday that Hamas fighters clashed with Israeli soldiers inside Gaza.
Is one of the earliest reports of skirmishes between the two sides on the ground inside the Gaza Strip since the war broke out on October 7.
Hamas said its fighters ambushed Khan Younis two Israeli military bulldozers and a tank, forcing the Israeli troops to retreat towards their territory. “Soldiers of the Zionist force fled on foot,” Al-Qassam Brigades said on social media.
The US warns of military intervention to anyone who intervenes in the war between Israel and Hamas
US intervention has so far prevented Israel’s ground operation in the Gaza Strip as Washington aims to persuade Hamas to release other hostages.
Support for Israel is a given and remains strong with the US warning of military intervention to anyone who decides to intervene in the war between Israel and Hamas.
Specifically, the American Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, warned today that the US “will not hesitate to act militarily” against any “organization” or “country” that “attempts to expand the conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas and take advantage of this extremely bad situation.”
The US defense secretary did not clarify, however, whether his reference has to do with Iran or Hezbollah, which Israel accused today of “dragging Lebanon into war.”
Anthony Blinken also mentioned Iran, asking it to stop supporting Hezbollah and not to add more fuel to the already tense situation in the Middle East.
As he pointed out to the NBC News news network, the head of American diplomacy, Washington “sees an escalation dynamic in the ongoing war in the Middle East, mainly due to the actions of Iran and the organizations it supportsin the wider region”, such as Hezbollah but also the Houthis.
Israeli threats to Iran and Lebanon for Hezbollah
In addition to Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army also has to deal with the front on the border with Lebanon, where the clashes with Hezbollah continue.
In fact, Netanyahu made it clear to Hezbollah that if he decides to take part in the war that Israel has started with Hamas, he will regret it bitterly as this will bring about retaliatory Israeli strikes of ‘unimaginable magnitude’, wreaking ‘devastation’ on Lebanon.
At the same time, the Minister of Economy of Israel openly threatened Iran that if it intends to attack the country then the army will “hit the head of the snake”, as he described it. He also referred to Hezbollah and emphasized that if it opens a front then Israel will “wipe it off the face of the earth”.
Threats from Iran for a situation out of control in the Middle East
For his part, Iran’s foreign minister again warned Israel and the US that the situation in Middle East it may spiral out of control if Israel does not stop its military action immediately.
Describing Israel as a “proxy of the USA” o Hossein Amir-Abdollahian he said in a speech in Tehran that “if they do not immediately stop the crime against humanity and the genocide in Gaza, anything is possible at any time and the situation in the area will spiral out of control».
The US has sent an aircraft carrier to the region and a destroyer in the Red Sea that has intercepted missiles fired from Yemen by the Houthis, a group close to Iran. A base housing US forces in Iraq has also come under rocket and drone attacks by Iran-backed groups.
