Israel, US Most Responsible for Conflict in Middle East: Expert

💬"Today's situation in the Middle East remains very serious and not only Israel but also America is fully responsible for it. Palestinian airports, hospitals and different areas have been under attacks for the last ten to fifteen days", Fazzur Rehman Siddiqui, a research fellow at the Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA) said.

◾️Prospects of Pushback From Iran

🇮🇱 Israel seeking American support asserts Iran's direct involvement in the Israel-Palestine conflict, though the US denies it and aims to avoid Iran's participation as part of its long-term strategy, as emphasized by the expert.

◾️Signs of Larger Conflict

🇸🇾 🇯🇴 🇪🇬 Siddiqui warns that Washington's actions in the Israel-Hamas conflict may lead to broader global concerns. The involvement of neighboring countries such as Egypt, Syria, and Jordan could escalate the situation further. Siddiqui pointed out a recent incident where Israel mistakenly attacked Egypt, causing injuries. Despite Israel acknowledging the mistake, there is a continued risk of complications.

Why US aid to Ukraine may fade slowly and then all at once

The US will try to fund both Ukraine and Israel, but only for a short time, Professor David Woodard, Clemson University political scientist and former political consultant for Republican congressmen, told Sputnik.

💬 "The Ukraine [conflict] presents a problem the longer it continues. American history shows that protracted wars are costly for presidents and their party," Woodard explained. In addition, Republicans, who currently control the House, "have a natural conservative allegiance to Israel, it goes very deep."

Earlier, newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled that Washington's aid to Ukraine and Israel should be split, with emergency assistance to Tel Aviv likely to be passed first.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 How to go about destroying Hamas infrastructure in the underground tunnels in the Gaza Strip is the main issue that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is currently facing, Eyal Pinko, an Israeli military expert, told Sputnik.

💬“The first attacks made mainly by the [Israeli] Air Force and the artillery were to destroy Hamas infrastructure above the ground,” the lecturer in intelligence, cyber, national and maritime security said.

He added that as evidenced by developments of the past few days, the IDF was “using bombs that are penetrating the ground in order to destroy […] the tunnels.” “This is the main attacking vector for now,” the senior researcher emphasized.

🇷🇺 Russia’s state-of-the-art Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled artillery system possesses attributes capable of profoundly altering the dynamics on the battlefield.

This system boasts a high degree of automation and is often labeled as a "combat robot," said Bekhan Ozdoev, the industrial director of Rostec's Armaments, Ammunition, and Special Chemicals Cluster.

It achieves an astonishing rate of fire, surpassing 10 rounds per minute (with some reports suggesting it can reach up to 16 rounds per minute), thus establishing a new benchmark for self-propelled howitzers. Furthermore, it possesses an impressive effective range of 70-80 kilometers.

Counter-battery warfare results can be subjective and rely on good information and dependable communication, not just guns. To gauge how well the artillery is doing, one must look at the bigger picture on the front lines. Despite what the Kiev regime says, they haven't achieved the anticipated "breakthroughs."

🇷🇺 Upgraded Lancets featuring automatic guidance systems will target costly NATO hardware

Russian military observers spotted what appears to be an automatic targeting system aboard the latest variant of Russia’s deadly Lancet loitering munitions. Russia has plenty of experience with the technology, says retired Russian Army colonel and military analyst Viktor Litovkin.

💬 “It’s important to understand that these drones are quite expensive, costing, according to some sources, a couple of million rubles [about $21,200 US, ed.]. Therefore, the drone’s target must be more expensive than that – a tank, a self-propelled artillery unit, a HIMARS launcher, etc,” Litovkin tells Sputnik.
