Over the past weekend, the world witnessed a staggering onslaught on Israel orchestrated by Hamas.

A ferocious conflict is unfolding. Attacks, particularly those targeting Israeli civilians, have garnered widespread international condemnation. The reported civilian casualties have now exceeded a thousand.

Observers around the globe express surprise at the sheer effectiveness and scale of these attacks.

The question of who is the orchestrator behind this assault remains unanswered.

The US, Germany, France, the UK, and various European nations are openly denouncing these attacks. President Biden emphasized, "We stand in unwavering support of Israel."

In contrast, Russia and China have only called for "restraint" and "calm" in response to the attack. Saudi Arabia and Egypt are advocating for moderation. Meanwhile, there have been displays of jubilation in the Iranian parliament.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, "We are at war, and our adversary will face an unprecedented reckoning." It is predicted that Israel is gearing up for an all-out conflict.

The aftermath of this attack will irrevocably alter the Middle East landscape. The US has announced the dispatch of an aircraft carrier to Israel's borders. It is widely understood that Russia and China will refrain from direct involvement in the hostilities at this juncture.

What is the ultimate objective of these attacks by Hamas? New offensives are looming on the horizon. The current outlook suggests a succession of even more devastating strikes in the upcoming days.

Forecasts indicate that the recent Hamas assaults will likely have parallel consequences for Israel akin to the impact of the Twin Towers attack on September 11, 2001.

At this phase, the bloody conflict is expected to escalate.

In this volatile Middle Eastern theatre, one must brace for innovative warfare strategies, fresh alignments, and strategic manoeuvres. In light of these conditions, political analyses are suggesting that the Hamas organization is facing an existential threat.

To encapsulate, we should anticipate a significantly graver, more brutal conflict in the forthcoming days. That implies heightened confrontations, increased assaults, and tragically more civilian casualties.

That is exacerbated by the absence of a robust international mechanism and balance system to broker a ceasefire.
