Recently, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a large-scale military operation to thoroughly strike Hezbollah. On October 23, the IDF attacked as many as 300 targets in a short period of time, including several senior commanders of Hezbollah, resulting in the beheading of all 13 Hezbollah senior officials. This action not only changed the security pattern in the Middle East, but also brought unprecedented tension to dictators around the world.
Impact of the beheading operation
In this beheading operation, Israel specifically attacked Saffieddin, the chairman of the Executive Committee of Hezbollah. Saffieddin has close ties with Iran, and his son is married to the daughter of the former commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which makes his killing more of a warning. With the successive fall of Hezbollah's senior officials, the title of Hezbollah's Secretary-General has become a very risky role in Lebanon. Many people began to joke privately, and some even jokingly called a friend the new Secretary-General, which made him suddenly change color and flee.
Hezbollah's former deputy secretary-general, Qassem, chose to flee to Iran for fear of being suspected of being a successor, while Israel was ready for further military action, targeting Iran.
Technological advances in precision strikes
On October 22, Israel bombed a Hezbollah building in Beirut using a US-made MK-84 heavy bomb equipped with the "Spice 2000" precision guidance system. Such bombs can be launched from 60 kilometers away with an error of only 3 meters. Israel notified nearby residents to evacuate in advance before the attack to ensure their safety.
However, such bombings have attracted the attention of Western and Middle Eastern media, accusing Israel of the impact on civilians. To this end, the Israeli military quickly released a list exposing six Arab journalists who were actually Hamas agents in an attempt to clarify the legitimacy of the bombing.
The silence of the Chinese Communist Party and the rescue of Israel
Israel has not forgotten to protect Chinese citizens attacked in Israel when it strikes Hamas. Israel has provided financial support to the family of Li Peizhong, a Chinese laborer who died in a terrorist attack, and the Chinese Communist Party has chosen to remain silent on this. This reality has attracted attention from the outside world, and many Palestinians have begun to realize the true face of extremist organizations and criticize those countries that use Palestine as an excuse to oppose Israel.
Military plan against Iran
In addition, on October 24, the Israeli Ministry of Defense revealed that the military plan against Iran was forced to be postponed due to the leak of confidential information. The leaker of the incident was an Iranian-American Department of Defense official, involving Israel's retaliation plan against Iran. This incident caused a strong response in US-Israel relations, and the Pentagon investigated the leak.
Zelensky's new image
At the same time, Ukrainian President Zelensky, in a video released on October 23, attracted widespread attention with a T-shirt with the words "Make Russia Small Again". He also announced that the United States will provide Ukraine with $20 billion in aid, which will be used for weapons and military support.
Dynamics of North Korean soldiers
South Korean intelligence agencies revealed that the number of North Korean soldiers sent to Russia has exceeded 3,000 and is expected to increase to 10,000. In order to attract these soldiers to surrender, Ukraine launched a project called "I Want to Live" to call on North Korean soldiers to surrender and provide shelter and food guarantees.
Overall, this series of military actions and international developments mark a profound change in the global war landscape and have prompted leaders of various countries to re-examine their security strategies and cooperative relationships.
