Israel’s increasing attacks on the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen have many concerned that the conflict in the Middle East could escalate, and could even drag in Iran and the United States, Israel’s main ally.
The PFLP is another militant group that took part in the war against Israel.
Israel on Sunday (29/9) carried out air strikes against the Houthi militia in Yemen and dozens of Hezbollah targets across Lebanon after attacks last week killed Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. (I-2)
