Hamas launched the first ballistic attack on Israel, hitting the refineries near the port of Haifa, 150 km away from the Gaza Strip.
According to reports, Hamas launched the Ayyash-250 ballistic missile with a range of 250 km which penetrated Israeli air defenses.
On the occasion of this attack by Hamas, American media such as the NYT and the WSJ released critical information on how the operation that led to the bloodshed in Israel was set up.
Most alarmingly, the US media reports that Hezbollah-Hamas and Iran have prepared for a major war of scale and scope, including a ground invasion.
So the question is whether there is any "trap" for Israel. The developments now can be more than stormy in the Middle East arena.

The next few hours are extremely critical as according to all information Hezbollah is expected to decide whether to enter the war.
Foreign diplomatic sources said, as reported by Israeli media, that the next few hours are very critical for Israel's northern front.
A Syrian journalist from the Golan Heights reported that groups linked to the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (backed by Iran) are entering Lebanon through Syria.
This confirms yesterday's information about the reinforcement of Hamas with Shiites from Syria, Iraq and other countries.
In this context, the United States has given the "green light" to Israel to conduct any operation it deems necessary to counter any threat, on any front, in any geography.
