Some time ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the fierce fighting in Gaza is coming to an end, and the intensity of fighting in Gaza seems to have decreased significantly in recent times. According to CCTV News, on June 30, Israel began to carry out arrests in the West Bank, arresting at least 20 Palestinians.
Although the Israeli army has not yet finished its operation in Gaza, Israel seems to be much more relaxed in the face of Hamas, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before Israel wins a military victory in Gaza.
However, Israel should not rejoice too early, the trend of the situation in the Middle East is not under Israel's control, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues to spill over, Israel is facing the threat of being besieged, and not long ago, Israel received three pieces of bad news in succession.
First, Turkey has "turned its face" at Israel.
According to Xinhua News Agency, EL AL issued a statement on June 30, saying that on the 30th, an Israeli plane flew from Poland to Tel Aviv and temporarily landed at Antalya Airport in Turkey because a passenger needed first aid.
It is clear that Turkey is deliberately targeting Israel. Since the Israeli army attacked Gaza, Turkey has condemned Israel a lot, and in recent times, Turkey has openly acted against Israel, as if it wants to stand on the opposite side of Israel. According to Xinhua News Agency, on June 26, seeing the continued escalation of the conflict between Lebanon and Israel, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan publicly stated that Turkey would stand with Lebanon.
With Erdoğan's rare crushing defeat in Turkey's local elections and his support to regain popularity, Erdoğan will increasingly need to take a tough stance against Israel. Judging from Turkey's series of actions, Turkey seems to be escalating its attack on Israel little by little, from verbal condemnation to actual actions, it is difficult to guarantee that Turkey will not make new ruthless moves against Israel in the future.
What is particularly worthy of Israel's vigilance is that on 30 June, the foreign ministers of Turkey and Iran also held telephone conversations on the situation in Gaza and the situation in Lebanon and Israel. This raises the suspicion that Turkey and Iran, and even more Middle Eastern countries, will cooperate to contain Israel, which could not only be in a rare state of isolation in the Middle East, but also a multi-party coalition.
Second, the Lebanese Allah launched another attack on Israel, and the Israeli army suffered a lot of damage.
According to Xinhua, on June 30, the Israeli military issued a statement saying that on the 30th, the Lebanese Allah Party carried out another drone attack on northern Israel, while 18 Israeli soldiers were injured in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, and one of them was seriously injured.
As a retaliation for the Lebanese Allah Party, Israel then also launched an attack on the Allah base in southern Lebanon, according to Qatar's Al Jazeera reported on the 30th, the Lebanese Allah Party announced that three of its members were killed by Israeli forces.
Prior to this, Israel had declared that it would not seek an all-out war with Allah in Lebanon, and that it was committed to a political solution, but that it was ready for war, raising doubts that Israel might not want to fall into a new war. However, at present, Lebanon and Israel are constantly fighting each other, the means of attacking each other and the blows inflicted on each other are also escalating, and a full-scale war between Israel and Allah is only unavoidable.
As far as Israel is concerned, once the Israeli army officially launches a ground offensive against Lebanon, the Golan Heights, known as the "water tower of the Middle East," is afraid that it will once again become a key object of contention, and the loss of the Golan Heights is something that Israel absolutely does not want to see.
Thirdly, Palestinian militants in Gaza are still fighting back.
According to a report on July 1, the Israeli military said that on July 1, Palestinian militants in Gaza fired more than 20 rockets from southern Gaza, while Jihad's Quds Force said that it specifically targeted several Israeli communities close to Gaza to launch rockets.
It can be seen that although the fighting between Lebanon and Israel is becoming more and more intense, and Israel's focus seems to be on Allah in Lebanon, the war in Gaza is not so easy to end, at least the Palestinian forces in Gaza still have the power to fight back and can still hit the Israeli community.
Of course, Jihad's attack on Israel was not enough to turn the tide of the war in Gaza, but Israel was not able to do so, which means that it is difficult for Israel to solve Gaza's worries. The new enmity set off by this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict is difficult to eliminate, and while the armed forces in Gaza are still capable of fighting, whether the Israeli army opens a new front or Israel wants to quell the flames of war in Gaza, the movement in Gaza may be a time bomb for Israel.
