Terrorists are fighting war on Israel, but one country is pulling the strings
Middle East,Israel Hamas Violence,Israel,Palestine,Iran,World,Foreign Affairs
Hard as it is to draw your eyes away from the horrors of Hamas's attack on Israel, itโs important to take a step back to see the bigger picture and what it portends for the future. This war could quickly escalate into a regional war if Iran, Israel, and others decide itโs now or never.
Make no mistake, while Hamas terrorists might be doing the actual fighting, Iran is pulling the strings. Iran funds Hamas, supplies their weapons, and gave the order to attack Israel from the west. If Hezbollah terrorists join the fight and attack Israel from Lebanon in the north, it will again be at Iran's behest because Iran also funds and arms Hezbollah. If splinter terrorist groups go against Israel from the Palestinian territories in the east, Israel will face a multifront war fought by Palestinians, but paid for and directed by Iran.
