Middle East Conflict

[Ducado]

The worry is, regional escalation and the extremists on both sides wish for an apocalyptic war, one side to remove the Jewish people from Israel the other side to remove the Palestinian people from the West Bank and Gaza

We could see relatively moderate Arab and Muslim governments fall, such is the anger out there, and let’s not forget the amount of oil and gas that comes from that region

We will all suffer, higher prices, terror attacks, and lots of innocent people will die or be forced to become refugees it’s a mess

Social media has reported!!!!
Let’s apply the same standards universally in here.

The clue was in my opening two words mate ;-)

Yes it’s not the rosiest of outlooks right now.

Just a caution. This same story was circulated 10 days ago and turned out to be false.

Posts falsely claim Israel bombed historic church in Gaza

Israel retaliated with air strikes after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched an unprecedented surprise attack in early October 2023, a conflict resulting in thousands of casualties on both sides. However, posts claiming Israel bombed a centuries-old church in the Gaza Strip are false...

Don't think so. Death toll rising. Estimate of up to 150.

They were heading for an American ship
And drones to American bases around syria

Seems a bit far for Yemen! 1200 ( 1900km ) odd miles Even top end Iranian missiles can barely do that at 2000km ranges.

Plenty of press covering it but really don’t feel the missiles had much chance of reaching any targets in Israel.

It’s a worry and we have flag waver’s encouraging it all

I assumed they were heading for Israel as this fella is so angry

Oh look, same story, but not reported by Igor Shusko
