Israeli forces vow response to Iran’s attack despite calls for restraint

-

 


Iran launched the attack in retaliation for an airstrike on its embassy compound in Damascus on April 1 attributed to Israel, and signalled that it did not seek further escalation.

Israelis awaited word on how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would respond to Iran’s first-ever direct attack as international pressure for restraint grew amid fears of an escalation of conflict in the Middle East.

Netanyahu on Monday summoned his war cabinet for the second time in less than 24 hours to weigh a response to Iran’s massive weekend missile and drone attack, a government source said.

While the attack caused no deaths and little damage, thanks the air defences and countermeasures of Israel and its allies, it has increased concerns that violence rooted in the Gaza war is spreading, and fears of open war between the long-time foes. Israeli military chief of staff Herzi Halevi said on Monday that “this launch of so many missiles, cruise missiles and drones into Israeli territory will be met with a response” but gave no details.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani told state television on Monday that Tehran's retaliation against Israel "will be eliminated within seconds, because Iran will not wait another 12 seconds." But the prospect of Israeli retaliation has alarmed many Iranians, who have suffered health problems and social and political pressures since the 2022-23 strike.

Iran carried out the attack in retaliation for Israel's April 1 attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus and said it would not seek to further escalate tensions. U.S. President Joe Biden told Netanyahu this week that the United States, which helped Israel thwart Iranian attacks, would not participate in Israel's offensive. Since the outbreak of the Gaza War in October, there have been conflicts between Israel and Iran-based groups in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iraq.

Israel said that despite the conflict with the Lebanese Hezbollah militia, four soldiers were injured from a distance of hundreds of meters in Lebanese territory overnight, in its first attack on Lebanon since the beginning of the Gaza war.

"We are on the edge of the abyss and we must stay away from it," EU foreign minister Josep Borrell told Spain's Onda Cero radio.

French President Macron, German Chancellor Schautz and British Foreign Secretary Cameron also made similar calls. Washington and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also called for a ban.

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7. The territory — a limited segment of land among Israel and Egypt, close to the Mediterranean Ocean — is home to generally 2.3 million Palestinians and is portrayed as quite possibly of the most thickly populated put on The planet. The 140-square-mile district is generally the size of Philadelphia. Most of the people who live in Gaza are youthful, with practically 65% of the populace younger than 24. ' World's biggest outside jail' Beginning around 2007, Israel has forced an air, land and ocean bar on the Gaza Strip, saying the move is important to protect the country from Hamas' assaults. Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di

  Terrorist Attacks on Israel and Indian Solidarity with Israel as India also Suffers Islamic Terror                         Islamic terrorism is a global threat, and no country is immune. Israel and India are two countries that have been particularly hard hit by terrorist attacks. In recent years, there has been a growing solidarity between the two countries in the fight against terrorism. Israel is a small country in the Middle East that is surrounded by hostile neighbors. Since its founding in 1948, Israel has been the target of numerous terrorist attacks. These attacks have been carried out by a variety of groups, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Terrorist attacks in Israel have killed thousands of people and injured many more. The attacks have also caused significant economic damage. In 2014, for example, the cost of terrorism to the Israeli economy was estimated to be over $5 billion. India is another country that has been severely impacted by Islami

  Hamas is a paramilitary group that has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and Israel. The group has been responsible for numerous attacks on Israeli civilians, including children and women. #BarbericHamas #BrutalityagainstIsraeliwWomenChildren #IndiawithIsrael #TerroristHamas  In one particularly barbaric act, Hamas militants attacked a school bus in southern Israel in 2004, killing five Israeli children and wounding several others. In another attack, Hamas militants fired rockets into a residential area in Ashkelon, killing a three-year-old Israeli girl. Hamas has also been responsible for the deaths of numerous Israeli soldiers. In 2014, Hamas militants killed two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border tunnel. In another attack, Hamas militants killed three Israeli soldiers in an ambush. Hamas's attacks on Israeli civilians are a clear violation of international law. The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits the targeting of civilians
