Not only is this attack very significant, but there’s been an overall uptick in the intensity of attacks conducted by groups in the axis-of-resistance. Pro-Iran Iraqi militias have targeted U.S bases in the region and Israeli targets inside Israel with drones and missiles. The Houthis continued targeting ships in the red sea whether commercial or military. Hezbollah has on Saturday claimed 12 attacks against Israeli targets in the south, and introduced the use of the Falaq-1 missiles and intensified their use of the Burkan heavy load rocket. This is likely a coordinated escalation by the axis of resistance in the face of increased attacks by Israel and the U.S in the ME theaters, to try and re-establish the Balance of Terror and to further make the Israeli war on Hamas as also costly on the U.S that is still hesitating in fully escalating in the region or become embroiled in another ME war. An American retaliation to re-establish deterrence (non existent) is definite, likely in Syria and/or Iraq. The attacks also come at a time when rumors and reports circulated of a US plan to withdraw from Syria, and the likely planned withdrawal from Iraq. The region is increasingly boiling and the escalation ladder is getting costlier by the days.

Iran Attacks Israel Today April 14,2024 Iran has reportedly launched aerial drones towards Israel in what is being seen as a reprisal attack. The attack is believed to be in response to recent escalations between the two countries. It is expected that the drones will reach Israel around 02:00 on Sunday, according to local time (23:00 GMT on Saturday, Japan time:8:00). The Israeli defense forces have been put on high alert and are closely monitoring the situation and are prepared to respond to any potential threats posed by the incoming drones. The defense forces have sophisticated countermeasures and defense systems in place to neutralize any airborne threats. The reprisal attack by Iran comes amidst rising tensions between the two nations, with recent incidents escalating the regional conflict. Both countries have been involved in a series of retaliatory actions, including airstrikes and cyberattacks. Pray for Israel 🙏 Pray for Iran 🙏

Since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, the participation of the Houthis in the "resistance axis" has been limited to direct UAV and missile attacks on Israeli targets, especially in the south of the country. The most significant was the Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv on July 19, 2024, to which Israel responded with an Israeli Air Force attack on the Yemeni port in the city of al-Hudaydah the following day. In recent weeks, the Houthis have increased their overt threats to attack Israel, including ground attacks. They also held military exercises simulating infiltrating through tunnels, taking control of Israeli military bases and abducting soldiers. According to reports, Houthi fighters have arrived in Syria and are overseen by the pro-Iranian militias. In ITIC assessment, the Houthis do in fact aspire to carry out a ground attack, partially as a response to Israel's attack on al-Hudaydah. Collaboration with Iran and the other "resistance axis" partners, led by the militias in Iraq and Hezbollah in Lebanon, enables the Houthis to overcome the great geographical distance between Yemen and Israel and move fighters close to the Israeli border for a limited direct ground attack on Israeli territory. They may try to infiltrate an Israeli civilian community or a military base, as they did in the simulations in Yemen, or participate actively as a Hezbollah auxiliary force should there be significant escalation in the fighting in the north. They would also continue their attempts to attack targets in Israeli territory with missiles or drones, as they have done since the beginning of the war. *Full article on ITIC website >* https://lnkd.in/dyKhp442

Supply Chain disruption rather than immediate degradation 🛑 Hours after #Israel intercepted a ballistic missile heading for #TelAviv launched by the #Houthis from #Yemen, 14 fighter aircraft in company with AAR & Int Support aircraft conducted coordinated attacks against Houthi infrastructure in #Hodeidah and #Sana’a. Israel says attack against the Houthis was not knee-jerk reaction to latest ballistic missile attack, rather in response to continued Houthi attacks. Israel struck three main Houthi-controlled ports Al-Salif, Hodeidah and Ras Issa oil facility disrupting the Iranian regime’s ability to send weapons to the Houthis by sea. The strikes reportedly destroyed all tugboats essential for guiding ships into port. This followed earlier attacks on cranes, rendering the ports inoperable. Over the past 14 months, the Houthis have fired around 200 #missiles and launched 120 UAVs towards Israel. Their assaults have intensified following the ceasefire agreement between Israel and #Hezbollah, with December witnessing six major attacks on Israel alone.

Israel Says Most Drones, Missiles Were Intercepted Iran attacked Israel in retaliation for strike on embassy compound, after days of threatening action Israel says over 200 drones and missiles were intercepted; a military base suffered slight damage US and UK helped intercept drones targeting Israel Iran’s mission to the UN said the matter “can be deemed concluded” Western leaders have condemned the attack, saying it risk further destabilizing the region. The White House has issued a statement from Biden after his call with Netanyahu. Here it is in full: Earlier today, Iran — and its proxies operating out of Yemen, Syria and Iraq — launched an unprecedented air attack against military facilities in Israel. I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms. At my direction, to support the defense of Israel, the U.S. military moved aircraft and ballistic missile defense destroyers to the region over the course of the past week. Thanks to these deployments and the extraordinary skill of our servicemembers, we helped Israel take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles. I’ve just spoken with Prime Minister Netanyahu to reaffirm America’s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel. I told him that Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks – sending a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel. Tomorrow, I will convene my fellow G7 leaders to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran’s brazen attack. My team will engage with their counterparts across the region. And we will stay in close touch with Israel’s leaders. And while we have not seen attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary action to protect our people.

Israel and Hezbollah Conflict 1. Unprovoked Attacks: Hezbollah has been launching rockets attacks on Israel daily for over a year. 2. Displacement: Many Israeli residents have been forced to leave their homes for now almost a year, due to the ongoing conflict. 3. Weapon Storage: Hezbollah stores rockets, including large ones and fighter drones, in civilian homes in southern Lebanon, making it difficult for Israel to respond without risking civilian lives. 4. Defense Measures: Israel is targeting Hezbollah’s arsenal of approximately 150,000 rockets to protect its citizens. 5. Israel asked everyone in Lebanon that has storage of rockets in their home to leave or they could be killed.

Every confirmation of Israel dismantling Iran’s missile capabilities reveals a truth: Israel has done the world a favor. Iranian missiles and drones fuel conflicts globally, aiding enemies of the West like Russia and the Houthis. Let’s stand together and thank Israel for defending global security.

Restrained? A sincere question Minister Barth Eide, what in Iran's and Hezbollah terror attacks against Israeli civilians can be described by you as restrained? 1. Initiating unprovoked missiles, rockets, drones attacks on Israeli civilians already on October 8th, to join Hamas Rapist campaign to annihilate Israel? 2. Demolishing systematically civilian houses in northern Israel with antitank missiles? In some of those beautiful, peaceful communities roughly 70% of the houses have been demolished by the Iranian proxy in Lebanon. 3. Targeting a football pitch killing 12 young kids that just wanted to play? 4. Iran direct attack on Israel, firing on Israel in one night 30 cruise missiles, 120 ballistic missile and launching 170 drones? 5. Iran initiating attacks on Israel from 6 fronts, including Yemen, Iraq and Syria? And those are only few examples of their murderers actions against Israeli civilians. Would you consider it as restrained if those attacks will be initiated against any other country but Israel?
