Israel has officially announced a “state of war” due to ongoing clashes between its military and Palestinian fighters in various southern Israeli regions. The conflict has resulted in numerous casualties and injuries among the Israeli population. The underlying causes of this crisis are attributed to U.S. imperialistic policies and the perceived lack of awareness among Israeli residents.
Hamas attacks on Israel
Palestinian resistance movement launched a destructive attack on Israel. According to the Times of India, over 5,000 rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel on Saturday. The Hamas’ armed wing said it was the start of ‘Operation al-Aqsa Flood’.
As ALJAZEERA reports, Israel has declared a “state of war”. The Israeli army continues to face off against Palestinian fighters in some areas across southern Israel. This comes a day after a surprise attack by the al-Qassam military group, the armed wing of Hamas. Hamas is the Palestinian group that governs the Gaza Strip. Moreover, the Lebanese Hezbollah said it launched mortar attacks into the occupied Shebaa Farms in solidarity with Hamas on Sunday. In this regard, Israel said it responded with artillery.
As CBS says, the multi-front attack began with rocket fire. Then, the attack expanded as Hamas members invaded Israel from Gaza.
Death toll until 8 Oct 2023
The influence of the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has significantly weakened Israel, causing numerous casualties in the country. According to ALJAZEERA, a recent Hamas attack on Israel resulted in a substantial loss of life and is considered the most significant incursion into Israel since the attacks by Egypt and Syria 50 years ago, aiming to reclaim lost territory.
According to various media sources, the latest reports from ALJAZEERA state a death toll of 370 Palestinians, as confirmed by health officials, and over 600 Israelis. CBS echoes these figures, reporting at least 600 deaths in Israel and an additional
One thousand eight hundred injuries, with numerous Israeli security forces and civilians reportedly being taken hostage. CNN, citing Israeli officials, anticipates that the death toll in Israel will exceed 600, with more than 2,000 people wounded in the ongoing conflict. The situation remains dynamic and continues to evolve, escalating the toll on both sides.
Reasons for Hamas attacks on IsraelÂ
Palestinian resistance movement (Hamas) has announced the reasons for its attack on Israel. According to ALJAZEERA, Hamas says it launched its operation in response to the continued brutality of Israel and its occupation administration against Palestinians. This includes standing by as Israeli settlers launch violent attacks on Palestinian neighbourhoods and villages, attacking worshippers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and killing Palestinians this year.
Israel Threatening Palestinians
As CBS News reports, in a televised address, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said the country is “at war”. He swore the militants “will pay an unprecedented price.” CNN says fighting in Israel continues a day after Hamas breached the border from Gaza in a surprise attack. Benjamin Netanyahu stated Saturday that Israel would halt the “electricity, fuel and goods” supply into the Gaza Strip. However, military spokesperson Lt. Col. Richard Hecht said Sunday they had cut only electricity.
USA supporting Israel
As CBS News reports, U.S. political leaders are vowing to support Israel after a surprise attack by Hamas militants.
According to REUTERS, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called Hamas’s attack on Israel’ terrorism’. In a statement released by the State Department, he said, “There is never any justification for terrorism. We stand in solidarity with the government and people of Israel and extend our condolences for the Israeli lives lost in these attacks.” U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has said: “Over the coming days, the Department of Defense will work to ensure that Israel has what it needs to defend itself and protect civilians from indiscriminate violence and terrorism.”
USA sacrificing Jews for its Imperialistic Policies
A critical issue that emerged in U.S. foreign policy after World War II was the emergence of Israel. Now, an essential part of the U.S. foreign policy is to stabilize, maintain and expand the influence of Israel. The U.S. was the first to recognize and defend Israel in all international organizations and forums.
ASÂ CFRÂ says, Israelis and Palestinians have clashed over claims to the Holy Land of Jerusalem for decades. The US is a strong supporter of Israel. However, it has traditionally tried to advance a diplomatic solution to reconcile the competing claims of the two parties. U.S. governments have proposed plans for a peace process that would result in two states, one Israeli and one Palestinian.
The U.S. supported the establishment of Israel to expand its influence and achieve its imperialistic goals in the Middle East. In the Greater Middle East project, Israel seeks to ensure that Arab countries remain America’s puppets. And this can lead to the U.S. imperialistic domination over the Middle East. The residents of Israel emigrated from various countries to the land called Israel now. These residents are now losing their lives in conflicts with Palestinians to serve the U.S. and its interests! Israel residents had a secure and comfortable life in their original countries before they immigrated to Israel.
