After nearly a year of tit-for-tat exchanges across Israel’s northern border, which Hezbollah said supported Hamas, Israel escalated its bombing of targets in Lebanon on September 23 and later sent ground troops.

Hezbollah has since fired deeper into Israel.

Fears that the war could engulf the entire Middle East were heightened by exchanges between Israel and Iran.

On October 26, Israel bombed military targets in Iran, killing four soldiers, in retaliation for the Islamic Republic’s barrage of about 200 rockets against Israel on October 1. Iran had said the barrage itself was in retaliation for the killing on top militants and an army general. the Revolutionary Guard.

He referred to groups linked to Iran, including those in Yemen, Iraq and Syria.

Analysts say Israel has inflicted serious damage on Iran’s air defenses and missile capabilities and yet could take larger-scale action against Iran.
