Yesterday, a Hussein-armed drone passed through Saudi airspace and exploded in Israeli cities, which I think many people do not realize the seriousness of.
The screenshots showed that the buildings were smoked and the ambulances sounded loud.Behind the number of 20 people injured, the lives of ordinary civilians were forcibly interrupted, and they could just go to buy a meal or take their children out of school.
Now the problem is that effective attacks can be launched thousands of kilometers away, and the geographical boundaries of modern warfare have been completely broken. Israel's Iron Dome system doesn't seem to be fully functional this time. You may wonder why, because the drone swarm is too dense, the cost is too low, and the air defense system cannot prevent it at all.
The reaction of the international community is particularly interesting. The fact that 157 countries recognized Palestine is more significant than we thought. I have noticed that even some traditionally neutral European countries are changing their positions. This trend is really telling. Israel is indeed becoming more and more diplomatically isolated, although the United States is still firmly supporting them.
Military retaliation sounds relieving, but it is extremely difficult to operate in practice. Yemen is so far away that it is impossible for ground troops to invest, and the effect of air strikes is limited. Similar long-range military operations in history were often at a loss, with huge investment and little gain. I think the Israeli leaders also understand this truth, so now they are looking for a step down while making malicious remarks.
The roots of the conflict are all known to be that the Palestinian issue has not been resolved. But this time it is different that the regional contrast of power is changing. These armed forces supported by Iran are now equipped with more and more sophisticated tactics. They are no longer a small guerrilla, but have become an important force that can affect the balance of the region.
My personal opinion is that this conflict will never be solved by military means alone. What is needed now is more active mediation by the international community, and it cannot always be led by the United States alone. China, Russia and the European Union should all participate, and a diversified mediation mechanism may be more effective. After all, the interests of all parties are too complicated for a mediator to take care of them.
Civilians are always the worst, whether Israeli civilians or Palestinian civilians. They just want to live peacefully and pay for political decisions.
Finally, this situation cannot be mitigated in the short term. We may need to be mentally prepared to face more frequent cross-border attacks and more intense diplomatic struggles. As observers, we need to stay alert and not be distracted by a single source of information.
