Tel Aviv/Beirut: Israel is fighting a war on many fronts in the Middle East. On one hand, its military operation against Hamas continues in Gaza and Rafah, 18 people were killed in an attack on Gaza on Sunday. On the other hand, amid preparations for war between Hezbollah and Iran, Israel has given a big blow to Hamas by killing another top commander Ismail Nofal in an airstrike in Nusrat.
The nearly 10-month-long war between Israel and Hamas and the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on Wednesday and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut on Tuesday have increased the risk of the war in the Middle East becoming more serious. Amidst these threats, Israel is continuously attacking Gaza. 18 people were killed in air strikes on Gaza on Sunday.
On the other hand, a 70-year-old woman and an 80-year-old man were killed and two others were injured in a knife attack by a radical Palestinian citizen on the outskirts of Israel's capital Tel Aviv. On the other hand, Gaza's Health Ministry said that Israel on Sunday attacked a camp for displaced people inside the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital complex in Gaza, killing four people, including a woman, and injuring several others. The Israeli army said it had targeted a Palestinian radical, but there were more explosions, indicating that there were weapons in the area.
On the other hand, the Israeli army IDF said that its air force has attacked the Nusserat area and killed Hamas terrorist Ismail Nofal. Nofal was one of the accused of the massacre that took place on Israeli soil on October 7 last year. Nofal was responsible for rocket attacks on Israeli territory. Apart from this, the Israeli army has attacked more than 50 terrorist hideouts in Gaza since Saturday. Israel carried out a drone attack on the Lebanese city of Bazourieh on Saturday morning, in which Ali Abd Ali, an operative posted on the southern front of Hezbollah, was killed.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah fired hundreds of missiles on Israel from Lebanon on Sunday morning in retaliation for the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and top Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut. At this time, the sound of sirens was continuously resonating in Israel. With this attack, Israel has declared a red alert in the entire country. However, Israel's Iron Dome destroyed all Hezbollah missiles in the sky itself.
– Two weeks later, Houthi rebels launched a missile attack on a ship in the Red Sea
Dubai: Yemen's Houthi rebels fired a missile at a Liberian-flagged container ship traveling in the Gulf of Aden amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hezbollah. The Houthi rebels attacked on Sunday, nearly two weeks after Israel carried out air strikes against the Houthi rebels. However, they did not give any reason for not attacking commercial ships in the Red Sea corridor for two weeks. But the Houthi rebels have become active again after the killing of Hamas chief Haniyeh in Tehran. They have started attacking ships in the Red Sea corridor as tensions in the Middle East increase. Houthi rebels attacked the container ship Groton. However, all the crew on board the ship are safe. After this attack, the ship was diverted near the port.
