After nearly 10 months of war in Gaza and the killing of two senior militants in separate strikes in Lebanon and Iran last week, tensions are rising in Israel over the expansion of the war in the Middle East. Writes UNN with reference to CBS news.
In recent weeks, tensions in Israel have increased, and military action is expected to expand. This is influenced by the following factors:
- Killing of two senior militants in separate strikes in Lebanon and Iran last week;
- The deaths of 18 people in the Gaza Strip, including four who were hiding in a tent camp for displaced Palestinians in a hospital complex;
- Knife attacks in Tel Aviv suburbs - police say attacker is Palestinian militant;
- A woman in her 70s and an 80-year-old man were killed in the Israeli capital, and two other men were injured; Other incidents.
Now, following the killing of a senior Hezbollah commander in a strike in Lebanon and a top Hamas political leader in an attack in Iran's capital last week, Israel is preparing to retaliate. Both were linked to the ongoing war in Gaza, which was triggered by Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, CBS reminds.
