Israel Tensions

The attacks on Israeli football supporters in Amsterdam this week followed tensions that began brewing days before between the fans and pro-Palestinian activists and other people in the city, a chronology of events showed.

Amid ongoing offensives against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Israeli military on Tuesday warned Iran that it would be hit "very, very hard" if it retaliated against Israel for its attacks on Tehran last week.

Israel's Mossad chief is set to visit Qatar to discuss the release of hostages in Gaza, even as Egypt proposed a two-day truce in the Palestinian enclave, as regional tensions simmered.

Israel waited for almost four weeks to avenge the ballistic missile attack from Iran on October 1. Yesterday, Israeli fighter jets flew for over 1,000 kilometres and conducted "precise strikes" on military facilities in Tehran and nearby provinces.

With the conflict in West Asia escalating significantly after Israel and Iran threatened each other of an endless series of retaliations, PM Modi on Tuesday met Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Russia on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit.

While Israel's plans for retaliation are not directly tied to the upcoming election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly aware of the potential impact on American politics. 

Iran's top diplomat has warned UN chief Antonio Guterres that Tehran is ready for a "decisive and regretful" response if Israel attacks his country in retaliation for a missile attack.

Iran said Monday it currently sees "no grounds" for its indirect talks with the United States via intermediary Oman, citing the crisis in the Middle East.

The United States on Friday expanded sanctions against Iran's petroleum and petrochemical sectors in response to Iran's missile attack on Israel, the Treasury Department said.

U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris said on Thursday that de-escalation was needed in the Middle East, a region on edge for months amid Israel's wars in Gaza and Lebanon.

At least six people were wounded, two of them seriously, in a stabbing attack in the Israeli city of Hadera on Wednesday.

A barrage of rockets were fired at Israel from Gaza and Lebanon on Tuesday as its war with Hamas completed a year on October 7.

Lebanese militant group Hezbollah said it had targeted an Israeli military intelligence base near Tel Aviv on Monday.

The unusual timing of the earthquakes, coupled with the ongoing geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran, led to speculations about a covert nuclear test being conducted.

Israel and Hezbollah exchanged more fire ahead of the first anniversary of the Hamas attack, which triggered a war in Gaza and further escalated tensions in the Middle East.
