Escalation could lead to ‘tremendous destruction’ in region
Geopolitical analyst HA Hellyer says the region is experiencing an “unstable situation” that could lead to an all-out war between Israel on one side, and Iran and its allies on the other.
Hellyer decried discourse by some hawkish commentators and politicians in Israel and the US about reshaping the Middle East via escalation.
“It’s very dangerous to have this sort of rhetoric because it means that people really don’t understand that the populations of the region will be the ones that pay the price for this adventurism, for this recklessness,” he told Al Jazeera.
Missiles targeted Israeli tanks: Iran state media
Iranian state television has reported that some of the ballistic missiles fired by the IRGC targeted Israeli tanks located at the so-called Netzarim Corridor. The Netzarim Corridor was set up to split northern Gaza from the south in the early days of the Israeli offensive on the enclave.
The IRGC reportedly said the effort was “successful” and accused the Israeli military of imposing heavy censorship on the news.
The IRGC claim could not be independently verified.

Houthi spokesperson ‘salutes’ Iran for missile attack
Mohammed Abdulsalam welcomes the Iranian military operation, which he said shows support for Palestine and challenges Israel’s hegemony in the region.
“Deterring the Zionist entity and confronting it is the only way to reign it in and prevent it from escalating its barbaric crime against the Lebanese and Palestinian people and the rest of the region,” Abdulsalam said in a social media post.
