https://www.timesofisrael.com/behind-islamic-jihads-barrage-of-attacks-on-israel-the-hand-of-iran/It’s a really a new era in Israel. It could be that we are going to strike Iran first:
Tuesday morningâs barrages of mortar shells and rockets into southern Israel were quickly rumored in Gaza to be the work of the Islamic Jihad terror group. And hours after more than two dozen mortar shells hit Israel, the IDF carried out retaliatory strikes that were mainly directed at Islamic Jihadâs military wing.
Islamic Jihadâs role indicates we are witnessing an attempt by Iran to spark a war on the southern border. And if the deterioration of the situation is not halted in the very near future, the attempt may prove successful. Already we have seen an attack on Israeli targets unprecedented since 2014âs Protective Edge conflict, with a consequent Israeli response against targets in Gaza.Updated May 29, 2018, 7:19 PM
