Tensions flared up in the Middle East after Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip attacked Israeli territory on October 7th,
when many Israelis living in the settlements near the border were killed and over 200 people, including children, women and the elderly, were taken hostage.
Hamas views its attack as a response to Israeli authorities’ steps against the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Israel declared a total blockade of the Gaza Strip and launched bombardments of the enclave and some areas in Lebanon and Syria. Clashes are also reported in the West Bank.
Since tensions escalated in the Middle East, rocket and drone attacks on U.S. military bases in Iraq and Syria have become more frequent. Shiite militias have warned that they will increase the number of armed operations in these Arab countries if the U.S. continues to provide military aid to Israel.
