Israel has accused Iran of orchestrating recent attacks carried out by its proxies in Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon.
In a televised briefing on Wednesday, Israeli Chief Military Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari emphasized that Israel and its US ally are closely monitoring the situation in the region.
Hagari also disclosed that Iran is currently providing intelligence support to Hamas in Gaza and is actively promoting anti-Israel sentiment worldwide through an online messaging campaign, despite denials from Iran that it has its hand in the war.
Meanwhile, as Iran's biggest proxy, Hezbollah, continues to increase its attacks on northern Israel from Lebanon, the group announced that its leader in Lebanon, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, held discussions with top leaders of Palestinian militant factions Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Hamas deputy chief Saleh al-Arouri and Islamic Jihad chief Ziad al-Nakhala met with Nasrallah as the proxies' alliance continues since Hamas declared war on Israel on October 7.
Iran is Hamas' biggest backer, giving over $100m a year in addition to weapons, technology, expertise, and training, which facilitates its attacks against Israel.
Since the war broke out, Yemen's Houthi militia has fired missiles towards Israel, intercepted by the US and Saudi Arabia. American forces in Iraq and Syria have come under attack from Iranian proxies 13 times in the last week. The US, one of the regime's archenemies alongside Israel, has vowed to support Israel in its war on terror group Hamas leading to a stepping up of Iran's regional militias.
