Israel is surrounded on all sides only because it is a Jewish nation fighting for survival amid surrounding Islamic states (which were themselves seized centuries ago in brutal, bloody conquests). Leaders of all Western countries either know the history of Islam and the fact that the Palestinian “resistance” is really an endeavor to annihilate Israel from the River to the Sea and are ignoring these things, or they are ignorant of them. To ignore the struggle of Israel and even to support is opponents will have dire consequences for Western nations, since all of Israel’s Islamic enemies are also determined to conquer the infidel West. They are well on their way, given a weak Biden administration, a likewise weak European Union, and those who support a Red-Green axis, which will inevitably unravel. 1400 years of Islamic history shows that Islam will never surrender to infidels. Friendly infidels are used to gain advantages.
“No longer afraid of sparking war, Israel takes gloves off against IRGC in Syria,” by Gianluca Pacchiani, Times of Israel, February 27, 2024:
Israel’s years-long air campaign against Iran-linked groups and weapons in Syria appears to have shifted into high gear in recent months, with strikes on high-value targets at a pace that is “changing the rules of the game,” according to experts.
Although Israeli attacks on Iran-sponsored weapons transfers and Tehran-backed militias, including Hezbollah, go back to at least 2013, the air force is now unleashing more frequent operations that include assassinations of Iranian officials. Those on the ground have taken notice.
In just the last few days, Israeli jets hit two members of the Hezbollah terror group traveling in a truck near the Syrian-Lebanon border Sunday morning, and bombed a residential building in an upscale neighborhood of the Syrian capital Damascus frequented by leaders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, killing two people, according to local news sources. Tehran’s media sources claimed that no citizens of the Islamic Republic were killed.
“[Israeli airstrikes in Syria] are no longer just about attacking weapons transfer or attacking Damascus international airport,” said Carmit Valensi, a senior researcher on Syria and head of the northern arena program at the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies (INSS).
The uptick in attacks seemingly started sometime shortly after October 7, as Israel found itself fighting in Gaza and fending off attacks from Iran-backed groups from Lebanon, Syria and beyond….

According to news reports inside Israel Hassan Nasralla, the secretary-general of Hezbollah, is crapping his pants. 1, he is afraid Israel will find out his exact location in Lebanon and send a Hellfire “ninja bomb” his way, 2. he does not want to get in a war with Israel because he knows Hezbollah will be annihilated.
Lebanon is caught between a rock and a hard place. There is a undersea Natural gas formation off the shore of Lebanon on the Israeli border. In 2022 Israel signed and agreement with Lebanon so they could develop his field. The stipulation was no trouble from Lebanon. Hezbollah has started to give Israel trouble. This breaks the treaty Lebanon whining that it has no control over Hezbollah. Israel shrugs it shoulders and says that’s your problem. As long as Hezbollah and Iran are causing trouble there is no petroleum company that is going to develop the gas field. No loot for Lebanon and its crooks to pocket.
