A humanitarian conflict.

"Iran has launched dozens of aerial drones and missiles at Israel, marking a widely anticipated reprisal attack." "It is the first such direct clash between the two enemies," and "The Israeli military said Israel and other countries had intercepted dozens of cruise missiles and drones, mostly outside Israeli airspace." BBC. "The US has shot down Iranian drones headed to Israel after Iran launched its retaliatory attack." "Other nations including France and Canada, have also condemned Iran and expressed support for Israel." BBC. On 1 April, "Suspected Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's embassy in Syria," following which, "Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that seven Iranian military advisers died in the strike including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in its Quds Force, which is an elite foreign espionage and paramilitary arm." Reuters. "Airspace closures through the Middle East grounded and diverted flights on Saturday (yesterday) as Iran launched drones towards Israel." Israel, Jordan and Iraq closed their airspace. "It was not clear when flights would resume." NBC. Iran's attack should be a big respite for Israel, even if temporary. On 25 March, 14 of the 15-member UN Security Council voted a resolution, with the US abstaining, calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, (UN) which would have given Hamas a golden opportunity to get a fresh supply of weapons from Iran. France went even further. "France's foreign minister said...that pressure, and possibly sanctions, must be imposed on Israel to open crossings to get humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza." The Times of Israel. How would they have stopped Hamas fighters from keeping the greater share for themselves? "Yemen's Houthi rebels launched multiple drones at Israel in coordination with Iran, security firm Ambrey says, adding that the projectiles were likely timed to reach Israel simultaneously." TToI. Five days back, "The US Central Command said on X its forces had destroyed an air defense system with two missiles ready to launch, a ground control station in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and one unmanned aerial system launched by the Houthis from Yemen over the Red Sea." Reuters. Clearly, the US action is inadequate and ineffective. Two days ago, "Dozens of Russian military instructors have arrived in Niger as part of a new agreement with the country's junta, which has cut links with the West. State media reported that they arrived along with a state-of-the-art air defence system." BBC. Just four days back, "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's approach to the war in Gaza is a 'mistake', US President Joe Biden said in an interview." Reuters. Biden does not understand that Israel cannot run away in total disarray as the US forces did from Afghanistan under Biden's watch. BBC. Israel understands what woke Americans don't: Islamists kill for pleasure. No human being should be capable of what Hamas did to ordinary Israelis on 7 October 2023. AP. Iran, Russia and China versus the West. No time to be woke.
