Tehran: Iran can attack Israel at any point of time. Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has asked the security forces to attack Israel with brute force and take revenge of the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniye. This information has been given by Ali Fadavi, deputy chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.
Iran has deadly missiles
Haniye was killed in a missile attack in Tehran in July. Iran has blamed Israel for this. Fadavi said, the supreme leader has asked to take action after seeing the right time. Meanwhile, Iran’s navy has demonstrated its cruise missiles deployed on warships.
It has been said that these extremely deadly missiles cannot be caught by radar. It is known that Iran is among the countries producing the most missiles in West Asia. Meanwhile, Pakistan has rejected the theory that it has supplied missiles to Iran amid increased tension with Israel.
Israel killed a Hamas security officer in South Lebanon
Israel carried out an airstrike on a car in South Lebanon recently. Samar al-Haj, a security officer of the Palestinian armed group Hamas, was killed in the attack in the Lebanese port city of Sidon, about 60 kilometers from the Israeli border. Samar al-Haj worked in the nearby refugee camp Ain al-Hilweh for Palestinians.
Sources say that the security officer’s bodyguard was seriously injured in the attack. The Israeli army has been conducting a campaign against members of Hamas, allied Lebanese armed group Hezbollah and other factions in Lebanon for the past 10 months.
These armed groups had carried out rocket, drone and artillery attacks across the border in northern Israel. It is worth noting that in January, Hamas deputy chief Saleh Arouri was killed in an Israeli attack on the outskirts of Beirut. Last week, Hezbollah’s top military commander Fuad Shukr was killed in another Israeli attack on the same area.
Israel attacks Khan Younis amid appeals for ceasefire in Gaza
Amid appeals by the US, Qatar and Egypt for a ceasefire in Gaza, Israel only recently launched a new attack on Khan Younis in southern Gaza. The Israeli army said it had targeted the hideouts of Hamas fighters.
It was alleged that Hamas fighters were continuously attacking Israeli soldiers with rockets and mortars. Along with this, Israel has ordered the evacuation of the eastern region of Khan Younis, where people returned only two weeks ago. Thousands of them are now being evacuated again with their essential goods.
Demand for ceasefire in Gaza and release of hostages
The leaders of the US, Egypt and Qatar have jointly demanded Israel to join the talks to be held on August 15 regarding ceasefire in Gaza and release of hostages. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he has accepted the invitation for talks.
US President Joe Biden, the indirect mediator in the agreement, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Qatar’s Emir Tamim al-Thani want an end to the Gaza war and are preparing to finalize talks in Qatar or Egypt next week.
US responds to Houthi attack
Houthi rebels have again targeted the ship by carrying out three suspicious attacks in the Gulf of Aden connected to the Red Sea. A private guard was killed in this. At the same time, US forces have destroyed two Houthi anti-ship cruise missiles. US F-22 fighter jets have reached West Asia.
