Israel Responds to Rocket Attacks from Both Hamas and Hezbollah
August 12, 2021
(NTEB) Israel right now is dealing with rocket attacks and incendiary balloon launchings coming from Hezbollah and Hamas respectively. Hamas is always attacking Israel, but this is the first major attack from Hezbollah since 2006, launching about 19 rockets against the Jews. Fortunately, Israel has had lots of practice dealing with multi-front attacks before.
Both Hamas and Hezbollah are funded and armed by Iran, so any fighting that flares up is actually a proxy war against Israel by Tehran. Defense Minister Benny Gantz said last week that, in light of Iran’s soon-arriving status as a nuclear nation, that Israel is not only ready to attack but preparing a pre-emptive strike to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons.
