Three Israelis were killed in an attack in the Allenby area, at the crossing between Jordan and the West Bank. A man approached the area on board a truck, got out and started shooting at Israeli security forces before being shot down himself. The perpetrator of the attack, according to sources in the Jewish state, was a 39-year-old Jordanian citizen, identified as Maher Dhiab Hussein al-Jazi. His action was praised by the main Palestinian groups at war with Israel. Hamas called him “one of Jordan’s brave men” who was shot as part of a “natural response to the holocaust committed by the Nazi Zionist enemy against our people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, and his plans to Judaize the Al Aqsa Mosque.” Palestinian Islamic Jihad called him a “hero,” whose attack was “an expression of the feelings of the Jordanian people and the Arab and Muslim peoples toward the brutal massacres committed by the enemy.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denounced the “murderous ideology led by the Iranian axis of evil.” In the “recent days,” he continued, “despicable terrorists have murdered six of our hostages and three Israeli police officers in cold blood. The murderers make no distinction between us, they want to murder all of us, every last one: right and left, secular and religious, Jews and non-Jews.” Tel Aviv has repeatedly indicated the existence of an Iranian mastermind behind the attacks against Israel and its citizens, starting with the one on October 7 that triggered the war in the Middle East. For Netanyahu, “Iran‘s strongest arm is Hezbollah in Lebanon.” For this reason, the prime minister continued, “I have instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and all security forces to prepare to change this situation.” For Netanyahu, “there is no possibility of continuing with the current situation and we are obliged to safely return all residents of the north to their homes.”
At the end of August, Israel launched what it called a “preemptive strike” against Hezbollah in Lebanon, in view of a possible response to the assassination of senior commander Fouad Chokr. The front remains hot but, for now, has not exploded even if clashes and Israeli raids continue in southern Lebanon. Among the latest targets hit by the IDF are Hezbollah military facilities in the areas of Aitaroun, Maroun El Ras and Yaroun. The main objective of the war, for Israel, for the moment remains the eradication of Hamas from Gaza.
