The intensification of the conflict in the region
After a decade of tensions, October 7 marked a before and after in the relationship between Israel and Hamas. With nearly 17,000 recorded attacks, the consequences of these ten months of conflict have spread beyond the borders of Gaza, affecting several countries in the region.
Gaza: a growing humanitarian crisis
The situation in Gaza has become increasingly critical. According to Israeli authorities, the military campaign has killed nearly 10,000 Hamas fighters, including important leaders of the organization. However, reports from the BBC point out that civilian figures are difficult to determine, leaving the true scale of losses open to debate.
Impact of Israeli attacks
With more than 10,389 airstrikes carried out, the picture in Gaza remains devastating. The civilian population is caught in a crossfire, with destroyed infrastructure and an uncertain future.
Lebanon: an affected neighbor
Although no formal war has been declared with Lebanon, the exchange of fire with Hezbollah has intensified tensions. The Israeli military has carried out more than 6,500 attacks, causing mass displacement and significant casualties, including nearly 600 deaths.
Iran: a key figure in the conflict
The rivalry between Iran and Israel has intensified during this period. From sabotage to direct attacks, power dynamics in the region have been affected, especially after Israel attacked senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
Military responses and repercussions
Iran’s response has been forceful, with massive drone and missile launches against Israeli targets. The United States has also been involved, carrying out attacks on military bases in Iraq and Syria in response to the attacks.
West Bank: An increase in military operations
Israeli military operations in the West Bank have increased, with an alarming number of deaths and injuries among the Palestinian population. The construction of new settlements has generated a new wave of tensions and has been condemned by international bodies.
Syria: the forgotten front
With 144 recorded attacks, Syria has suffered the consequences of the war, with a death toll that includes both militants and civilians. Israeli attacks have focused on military installations, leaving a trail of devastation.
The Red Sea: a new conflict scenario
The situation in the Red Sea has become a new front, with the Houthis launching attacks against cargo ships that are linked to Israel. US responses have included airstrikes against these positions.
Spain and military collaboration with Israel
Despite the violence in Gaza, Spain has continued its defense deals with Israeli companies. Recently, contracts have been awarded for the acquisition of military technology, reflecting a relationship that remains despite the controversies.
Final thoughts on a protracted conflict
With an increasingly complex landscape and devastating results, the war in Gaza and its repercussions in the region remind us of the fragility of peace and the urgent need for diplomatic solutions. The future of this region remains uncertain, and the international community faces the challenge of managing a conflict that seems to have no end in sight.
