Retaliation against Israelis is expected after Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh was killed by Israeli agents
Israel and the United States are preparing for an attack from Iran, according to a newspaper report Wall Street Journal published this Friday (2.Aug.2024). Retaliation against the Israelis is expected after the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh by agents of the country.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah have vowed severe retaliation against Israel. The report said Tehran and its allies intend to launch an offensive “heavy and fast” against Israeli territory.
Iran’s possible new attack on Israel seeks to be more effective than the one carried out in April. At the time, Tehran launched missiles and drones into Israeli territory in response to an offensive that hit the Iranian Embassy in Damascus (Syria) and resulted in the death of Iranian military commanders.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared the nation for what he called a “difficult days”. WAirlines have begun canceling flights to Israel in anticipation of possible attacks.
VOLTAGE
In addition to the death of the Hamas leader, the recent escalation was triggered by a Hezbollah rocket attack that resulted in the deaths of 12 young men in northern Israel.
In retaliation, Israel carried out an attack in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, eliminating a senior official of the country’s extremist group.
