It is beginning to happen. We have been told that a worst case scenario for the war in the Middle East would be for Iranian proxies to join the war followed by Iran itself. That sort of escalation could lead to an apocalyptic conflict that spirals completely out of control, and so great efforts have been made to try to keep the rest of the “Axis of Resistance” on the sidelines. Unfortunately, those efforts appear to have failed, and that is really bad news.

On Tuesday, it was being reported that the IDF and Hamas were engaged in “fierce battles” deep inside Gaza…
Israel today said it has killed ‘dozens’ of Hamas terrorists during ‘fierce’ fighting ‘deep’ inside Gaza with video showing soldiers scouring the streets for the gunmen amid raging battles.
Israeli troops attacked Hamas positions within the terrorists’ vast tunnel network in a bid to free hostages trapped there – a key objective for Israel as it expands ground operations inside Gaza to wipe out Hamas following its gun rampage three weeks ago that killed over 1,400 people.
In the fifth day of major ground operations inside northern Gaza, the army said it had engaged in ‘fierce battles’ with Hamas terrorists, with footage showing columns of tanks and soldiers advancing further into the besieged enclave.
IDF forces have reached “the outskirts of Gaza City” and are steadily surrounding it on all sides.
But Israel is not in a rush.
The Israelis are going to take things one step at a time, because they want to minimize civilian casualties as well as their own losses…
The gradual progress of the present campaign is intended to avoid pitched fighting in built-up areas, while troops are wary of approaching the vast network of secret subterranean tunnels in which Hamas hides. The go-slow tactics may succeed in limiting Israeli military losses and potentially civilian deaths, yet risk prolonging a war.
I think that a methodical approach makes a lot of sense.
Hamas has spent many years preparing their tunnels, and so it is wise to use caution.
As fighting rages in Gaza, Iran is warning that their proxies “won’t stay silent”…
Iran today boasted its powerful proxies ‘won’t stay silent’ and hinted the fighting between Israel and Hamas could engulf the Middle East after the Tehran-backed Huthi rebels fired drones into the Jewish state from Yemen.
The Huthis, who seized Yemen’s capital Sanaa in 2014 and control large swathes of the country, said they fired a series of drones towards the Red Sea city of Eilat this morning in retaliation to Israel’s war against Hamas.
Personally, I don’t think that the Houthis represent too much of a threat.
First of all, they have their own war to worry about.
Secondly, any rockets that they can fire toward Israel shouldn’t be too much of a threat.
Thirdly, they simply aren’t capable of transporting large numbers of troops to areas where they could engage Israel.
