Prime Minister Netanyahu meets with Defence Minister Gallant and military chiefs at IDF command in Tel-Aviv on Oct 8, 2023
Bethan McKernan – The Guardian Dec 26, 2023
Israel is engaged in a “multi-front war”, its defence minister has said, hinting at military operations across the Middle East as the war in Gaza showed new signs of a dangerous regional escalation.
Speaking in parliament on Tuesday, Yoav Gallant said Israel was “coming under attack from seven theatres: Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria [an Israeli term for the West Bank], Iraq, Yemen and Iran. We have already responded and taken action in six of these theatres,” he told the Knesset, without specifying.
Iran-allied militias around the Middle East have attacked Israel and US military installations across the region since Hamas launched its devastating attack on southern Israel on 7 October, killing 1,140 people and taking up to 250 hostage.
Israel’s retaliatory war on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip has already become one of the most destructive conflicts of the 21st century, with estimates suggesting more than 20,600 people have been killed, 50,000 injured, and 85% of the Palestinian territory’s 2.3 million people forced to flee their homes.
Fighting in the 41km by 12km territory has intensified since a seven-day ceasefire collapsed at the beginning of December. Israeli forces continued to bombard refugee camps in the centre of the strip for a fourth day on Tuesday, in an apparent sign of its promised broadening of the offensive.
Gallant’s comments on Tuesday came as the war in Gaza threatened to spillover outside the borders ofIsrael and the Palestinian territories. Earlier in the day, Egypt said a drone was shot down near the Red Sea resort city of Dahab, the second such occurrence in a month.
The drone’s origin was not immediately clear, but Yemen’s Houthi rebels, which are aligned to Iran, have disrupted global trade in the Red Sea with attacks on international vessels, and have launched drones and missiles towards Israel.
Explosions in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen were also reported on Tuesday. On Saturday, the US defence department explicitly blamed Iran for the first time for a drone attack targeting a chemical tanker in the Indian Ocean.
The Dahab incident occurred a day after an Israeli airstrike outside the Syrian capital of Damascus killed a senior general in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. An Iranian statement on national television said Israel would “pay for this crime”.
In Iraq, the US bombed three sites associated with Kata’ib Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed militia it blamed for a drone strike that wounded three American soldiers based in the northern city of Erbil. The airstrikes drew sharp condemnation from the Iraqi government.
Separately, Israel and the powerful Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah have traded near-daily volleys of missiles, airstrikes and shelling across the frontier since 7 October. About 150 people in Lebanon have been killed, including 17 civilians, and 11 in Israel, including four civilians. Behind the scenes, the US is leading intense negotiations to try to de-escalate the hostilities on the Blue Line that separates the two countries, where the risk of miscalculation setting off a regional war is highest.
Despite increasing international outcry over the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including growing criticism from Israel’s most important ally, the US, the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said Israel would push on until achieving “complete victory” over Hamas. He reiterated during a visit to Israeli troops in Gaza on Monday that the fight “isn’t close to finished”
At the time i wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so i bought a boxed set of ” Hitler in Scotland “This was just before it all disappeared off youtube, it was well done but total bullshit
It said that Hitler survived the war and with Eva and several of the Third Reich moved to various countries in the west
and took over governments, it said Hitler was really a British agent and all governments since are not communist as experts tell us but Natzi
There were the usual forged FBI documents and photos of Hitler in British army uniform digging up potatos on his scottish farm
But its just more bullshit, beleive me as an expert the UK is very far from being natzi, only crackpots follow crap like this
and please get carl jones off the comments,
Naturally, the Jews-Christians-Muslims are setting all this up & gradually progressing toward their ‘end times’ or WWIII setup. What they don’t tell you is that both ‘sides’ are managed by the same supranational syndicate of Semites–just like the NATO-Ukraine/Russia war. All prearranged with a fixed beginning & ending. What’s the end game? Whiteocide.
Time for the Jew state to get crushed! Wipe them out! Let the Jews flee to their western benefactors and kill the rest. Liberate Palestine once & for all. The west can’t do anything. They’re too weak. Let Russia, Iran & China back them up. There are NO dual citizens in Israel; they’re ALL Israelis! Wipe them out!
“Hamas launched its devastating attack on southern Israel on 7 October” … Let’s be real here, Israhell launched an attack on itself. False flags are a Jew specialty.
“Israeli airstrike outside the Syrian capital of Damascus” … And Israhell’s attacks on Syria continue despite no aggressive moves from Syria toward Israhell in decades, if ever. But Syria sure holds some real estate lusted after by Shlomo and his satanic slobbering degenerate buddies.
“Israeli forces continued to bombard refugee camps” … it takes a special kind of evil to bomb civilian refugee camps.

Commie Russia & China are ruled by ZOG too.
” Fears of regional escalation ” — ” warns of multi front war ”
This is not feared , this has been the plan from the start. Through the use of false flags , fake terror groups and the cooperation of Judeo – Masonic controlled Arab and Iranian govt. and military , they will exterminate / expel Palestinians , implode Lebanon , and instigate greater regional war with the ultimate goal of destroying Iran. This has all been scripted out long ago.
