The operation through which Israel taught a lesson to 3 countries, will be used as a weapon again after 57 years.

By attacking Lebanon after Gaza, Israel has shown that it is not going to keep quiet against its enemies. The attitude of the Israeli Prime Minister in the UNGA has made it clear that the consequences for those who raise their eyes towards Israel will be very bad, even if the whole world is against it.

Israel is not going to stop after taking account of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, it is feared that Israel is going to launch Operation Focus once again, as it did during the 6-Day War against Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in 1967.

Israel's 'Operation Focus Returns'

During the military operation in Gaza for about a year, Israel has killed many big leaders and top commanders of Hamas. The Israeli army, which kills the enemy selectively, has also started taking account of Hezbollah in Lebanon. Many big commanders of Hezbollah have been eliminated within just 10 days, which means Israel is now close to achieving its goal.

But this time Netanyahu's army is in no mood to spare anyone, so it is feared that Israel is going to start Operation Focus once again. Under this operation, Israel started attacks on Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in 1967, now the target of Operation Focus Returns is going to be Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.

Why are Syria, Iraq, and Yemen targeted?

On Friday, when the Israeli Prime Minister gave his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, there were indications of this. During the speech, Netanyahu showed two maps, one was called a blessing for the world and the other was called a curse. Netanyahu said, 'Last time I showed a map in which Israel and its partner Arab countries were connecting Asia to Europe.' He called it a blessing for the world.

Netanyahu called the second map a map of terror. The Israeli Prime Minister showed both the maps and said that on one side there is hope for the future and on the other side there is darkness of the future. In fact, in this second map, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen were painted in black colors and described as a curse.

It is believed that Israel will not attack Iran directly. It wants Iran to jump into this war on its own, that is why after Hamas and Hezbollah, it is planning to target Iran's proxy groups present in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.

The enmity between Israel and Arab countries

The rivalry between Israel and Arab countries is decades old. About 100 years ago, Britain had occupied Palestinian land and the British government had promised to divide Palestine into two parts and create an independent nation of Israel for the Jews. However, the countries of the Arab world were against the establishment of Israel.

Eventually, after failing to resolve the dispute, the British rulers left this part of the Middle East in 1948 and Israeli leaders declared independent Israel on 14 May 1948. This is where a conflict began that has kept the Middle East unstable to date.

The very next day after the formation of Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq attacked Israel, this was the first Arab-Israeli conflict. Israel won this war which lasted for about a year, and after the war ended, the United Nations allocated half the land for independent Palestine.

From here began the period of tragedy for the Palestinians, during which about 7.5 lakh Palestinians had to be displaced because the Jewish army evicted them from their homes.

Now know about 'Operation Focus'

After this, the second Arab-Israeli conflict took place in the year 1967, this war which lasted for 6 days is also known as the 'Six-Day War'. From 5 June 1967 to 10 June, Israel fought against Egypt, Jordan, and Syria and achieved success. The military action taken against these three countries is called 'Operation Focus'.

The results of this war changed the map of the Middle East. In fact, as a result of this war, Israel captured the Gaza Strip and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. Not only this, Israel also snatched the West Bank including East Jerusalem from Jordan and the Golan Heights from Syria.
