Israel expects a new attack from Iran: China leverages anti-Israel sentiments in the Muslim World and the West to deploy a strategy of global influence

On August 01, 2024, after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh as a result of an Israeli strike on Tehran, the nature of the conflict in the Middle East changed dramatically, with escalation in the region and the armed confrontation involving more participants.

After this incident, diplomatic missions in Lebanon received evacuation notices, which was the result of the expectation of a new Iranian air strike on Israel, which should surpass the attack on April 13-14, 2024.

These developments accelerated the emergence of a new theater of global fragmented conflict of the autocratic axis against democracies. Since October 2023, Iran, together with its proxies from the so-called “Axis of Resistance,” has been carefully studying and purposefully exploiting the vulnerabilities of Israeli air defense.
