Apart from unleashing a war on Gaza by the IDF, on October 7th, Hamas also provoked the IDF into one of their most extensive offensives against Hezbollah and Iranian militants in the region. The US is also hitting back against Iranian militias in Syria and Iraq after Iran militias began shelling US positions.
Among the leaders and militants killed by the IDF are Sardar Seyed Razi Mousavi, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps leader in Damascus with an airstrike (he had succeeded Qasem Soleimani who was killed with an airstrike by the US in Iraq), and top Hezbollah military commander and Nasrallah’s brother-in-law, Wissam Al-Taweel.
Israel is also hunting down Hamas leaders in neighbouring countries.
Hezbollah and Iranian militias have been among the biggest destabilising forces in Lebanon, where they hold the country and the state hostage; Syria, where they helped Assad brutalise his own people; and Iraq, where they maintain a strong presence.
