Israel fires back after Syrian shells land in Israeli territory -military
Israeli troops fired artillery and mortar shells toward Syria on Tuesday after a number of shells launched from its northern neighbour landed in open areas on Israeli territory, Israel's military said.
JERUSALEM, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Israeli troops fired artillery and mortar shells toward Syria on Tuesday after a number of shells launched from its northern neighbour landed in open areas on Israeli territory, Israel's military said.
A source in southern Syria said a Palestinian faction had fired three rockets toward Israel.
The development raises fears the violence could lead to a wider war, as Israel trades cross-border salvoes with Lebanon's Hezbollah and battles Hamas militants in Gaza.
The military said its soldiers had fired "toward the origin of the launching in Syria". It did not provide details.
There were no reports of damage or injuries.
If this turns into all-out war in the middle east.. fuck.
Genuinely asking: what will the implications of that be?
I'm no expert, but if the Arab countries team up against Israel, that will drag the US into it for sure. Likely Europe/UK as well.
Then only 2000km away, Russia and Ukraine are still at war.
I believe this would partially isolate Europe economically from the rest of the world (depending on what Turkiye decides to do) because trade routes would be blocked. This might cause China and India to get involved as well because their economies depend on trade and production.
Gas prices would obviously sky-rocket along with the prices of everything else.
Because of tensions between multiple countries, it's unlikely it would be Team A vs Team B. There would be at least 3 different ally groups all fighting each other.
I'm really extrapolating here, and this is just one worst case scenario out of millions.
Death and destruction
Oil prices fuckery for one
Israel is a nuclear power, they have nuclear weapons. So any modern conventional war with Israel would see the deployment of nuclear weapons. I don't know the doctrine Israel would use, but I'm guessing they would go from maximum impact. Their military and technology is more than sufficient to destroy all the military targets they need already...
All we can do now is watch and wait
C'mon humanity.
