Israel-Hezbollah’s military rations go crazy

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Escalation continues to heat up in the Middle East following the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, Palestine.

Several parties say that the conflict in this region is likely to spread because Tel Aviv attacked several parties in the Arab World that support Hamas.

The following are developments in the Middle East war as of Tuesday (20/8/2024) as reported by various sources:

1. An Israeli fighter jet shoots down its own soldiers, an IDF commander dies

An Israeli fighter jet had reportedly misfired. Even the bombs fired by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) hit the Israeli army (IDF) itself.

Citing The Jerusalem Postthis incident happened on monday night local time in khan yunis, gaza. At least one soldier was killed and six others were injured.

“Lieutenant Shahar Ben Nun, 21, from Petah Tikva, who was the commander of the Paratrooper Demonstration Unit, Paratrooper Brigade, died during fighting in the southern part of the Gaza Strip,” said the page, which was announced on Tuesday (20/ 8/2024).

“Shahar was killed by a bomb dropped by an IAF fighter jet on Khan Yunis,” he said.

This incident occurred after IAF fighter jets attacked two targets at the same time to help other IDF soldiers fighting in Gaza. The plane that was supposed to hit a target 300 meters away from the soldiers instead crashed into an apartment near the soldiers due to a technical fault.

This later led to the death of Ben Nun. The IAF said the bomb’s navigation system was damaged.

After his death, Ben Nun was reportedly promoted from the rank of Second Lieutenant to Lieutenant. The IDF has contacted his family and expressed its condolences.

2. Israel ‘Rains’ Hezbollah Rockets

The Iran-backed Hezbollah group in Lebanon launched a number of rockets at Israeli military bases in the Golan Heights held by it on Tuesday (20/8/2024), in “response” to Israel’s attack on eastern Lebanon the a day before.

According to sources close to Hezbollah, the fighters launched “intense rocket attacks” on two Israeli army positions in the Golan Heights “in response to Israeli enemy attacks in the Bekaa Valley.” The attack targeted military warehouses in the eastern region.

The Israeli military confirmed that around 55 projectiles were found crossing the territory of​​​​Lebanon.

“Some of the projectiles were intercepted, and the rest fell in open fields. No casualties were reported,” the military said in a statement, adding that some of the rockets had started fires.

The Israeli military also said its troops had attacked one of the rocket launchers used in the attack.

This latest attack by the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement came after Israel attacked a weapons warehouse inside eastern Lebanon on Monday. The Israeli attack came after a soldier in northern Israel was killed by Hezbollah gunfire, the latest death in 10 months of cross-border exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israeli forces.

3. Netanyahu’s evil plan to seize the West Bank

The Palestinian Presidential Advisor for International Relations, Riyad Al Maliki, revealed Netanyahu’s plan to take over his entire country. This was announced in a Special Speech on Palestine in Jakarta, Tuesday (20/8/2024).

In his statement, Al Maliki said that Netanyahu really intended to take over the West Bank to make it part of Israel. He also said that he expected Gaza to be an empty place where no one could live buffer zone to Israel.

“But Netanyahu has an impossible situation. Millions of Palestinians live in Gaza and the West Bank,” he said at the forum.

“Israel does not want to take over Gaza. They want to take over the West Bank because they say that the area was ideologically given to them by God.”

With such a situation, Al Maliki said that Netanyahu wanted to create a bigger regional war. This plan involves the United States (USA), so that the Palestinian people will be forced as a result of this great war.

“He (Netanyahu) wants to bring the US into this great regional war, where Israel will fight Iran and groups in Lebanon, Yemen and also Iraq,” he said.

“The overnight operation was carried out jointly by the army and Shin Bet (Israeli intelligence agency). After identification procedures were done, the families of the victims were contacted,” the military said.

6. Hands down Yahya Sinwar

Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan told Reuters that the group’s new leader, Yahya Sinwar, had always been part of the decision-making process in ceasefire talks in Gaza.

“Due to the security situation, communication with Sinwar had tools and mechanisms, but everything went smoothly,” Hamdan said.

7. Recent legs
