On May 19, a barrage of rockets was launched from the outskirts of the village of Seddiqine in South Lebanon at northern Israel.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) revealed that a total of four rockets were launched from Lebanon. Rocket sirens were heard in several parts of northern Israel, including the port city of Haifa.
According to the IDF, one of the four rockets was intercepted by the Iron Dome system, while the rest fell in open areas without causing any losses.
The IDF responded to the rocket attack by shelling several areas in South Lebanon. According to Lebanese sources, at least 16 shells landed between Biyyadah Biyyadah. Israeli fighter jets and drones were spotted over the region.
“We are prepared for any scenario on any front,” the IDF said in a brief statement.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, yet. The attack was most likely carried out in support of Palestinian forces in the Gaza Strip, which have been facing a large Israeli offensive for more than a week now. Around 240 people were killed in Israeli strikes on the enclave.
Today’s attack was not the first. On May 13, three rockets were fired from South Lebanon at Israel. All three landed off Israel’s shores. On May 17, six rockets were fired towards Israel. All of them failed to cross the Lebanese border.
All the attacks were launched from South Lebanon, a stronghold of Hezbollah. Nevertheless, Lebanese media sources claim that Palestinian fighters were behind all recent rocket attacks.
Hamas will have to obey, it’s a one-sided brawl which world barely watch.Israel can only fill the gaza’s air with ten thousand decibels of sonic wave barrages.
It’s because AngloZionist diplomacy has been a failure at negotiating president Putin’s proposal for a 2-state solution, they’re non-agreement capable.
That’s why we have to sign Nordstream33 before the AngloZionist interfere.
2 state solution proposed by another countries long time ago as well which is righfull decision.
Russia’s Israel-Palestine gambit is all about status. Russia wants to show that it can transfer its diplomacy in Syria elsewhere in the Middle East. A win for Russia would be a restoration of the Middle East Quartet, which gives Russia parity with the US, EU and UN.
The 1991 Madrid Talks are a key reference point.Some Russian analysts took partial credit for Israel’s normalization with the UAE and Bahrain, as the Soviet Union facilitated Arab-Israeli dialogue in Madrid
By engaging in the current conflict, Putin can one-up Gorbachev.Russia is better at local diplomacy than grand bargains and Palestine is no exception.
Russia will talk about Israel-Palestine talks but a more realistic prize is intra-Palestinian dialogue, where Russia can shuttle between Hamas, Fatah and other factions.
Russia’s “friends with everyone, alliances with none” approach to Middle East diplomacy and domestic divisions prevent it from taking sides.
Putin has a close relationship with Netanyahu, but the Russian foreign and security policy establishment is much more pro-Palestinian.
