Their concerns were ignored. At the time of the attack, the women issued urgent warnings to troops on the ground. They desperately called for help as more than 150 militants entered their base, about half a mile from Gaza. None came. The end result was the death of 15 female soldiers from this base and the transfer of seven to Gaza as hostages. From this and many other pieces of evidence, the “7 October” plan emerges: to make Israel appear surprised and thus forced to retaliate, to present as “defensive” the war of extermination with which Israel is destroying Gaza and the West Bank to wipe out the Palestinian state, with which it is attacking Lebanon, Yemen, Syria.
Indeed, Israel is the spearhead with which the United States and the European powers are trying to maintain their dominance by war in the Middle East, where they are losing ground.
The main target in their sights is Iran, which has become a strategic junction of the North-South transport corridor to India and beyond, with which Russia is thwarting the blockade imposed by NATO and the EU, and at the same time a strategic junction of the New Silk Road from China to Europe.
The consequences of attacking Iran, which Israel is preparing to do with the full military support of the USA and NATO, would be very serious. An attack on Iran’s oil installations would be the cause of a worldwide oil shock. Even more dangerous for the spread of radioactivity would be an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, which are under UN control because Iran has joined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
