We want to take a moment to analyze the current situation in Israel. Over the past week, Hezbollah has expanded its attacks, striking deeper into Israeli territory. The cities of Nahariya and Acre have been targeted, and alarms have been set off, indicating a significant escalation. As Hezbollah increases its attacks, it also appears that Iran’s proxies are itching for more escalation. Over the weekend, Iranian-backed militias in Iraq claimed to have launched a drone targeting Haifa, though this seems to be a propaganda move. However, these groups also claimed to have targeted Eilat last Tuesday from Iraq. These Iranian-backed militias, calling themselves the “Islamic Resistance,” have targeted Eilat in the past, and their activities are cause for concern. Hezbollah has also doubled its number of attacks in the last month. Pro-Hezbollah media, Al-Mayadeen, noted that the group now has 120,000 Israelis in its “zone” of attack in northern Israel. This represents an increase in the number, type, and range of attacks. There is a major escalation that Hezbollah has largely gotten away with because it made it seem incremental. Iran is closely watching and learning from Israel’s responses. It is likely that Iran is mobilizing other proxies to increase their attacks on Israel. Israel remains in a tough place.
