The tension in the north of Israel went beyond words and turned into a military conflict.

On May 9, it was reported for the first time that rockets were launched by the Jerusalem force linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. It was alleged that the rockets were thrown from Kiswa, near Damascus. The target being the Golan Heights occupied by Israel in 1981.

According to the Israeli army rockets were intercepted so the attack failed. It was stated that a majority of the 20 missed missiles were intercepted by the Israeli air defense system Dome before they actually reached the Israeli territory.

At 2am, residents of the area were allowed to leave their hiding places and the schools opened normally. Israeli officials warned residents of the region the day before.

Israel responded to the attack with intense bombing. It was an expected attack after weeks of threats. But it marks a new era in terms of its dimensions. According to the Syrian Human Rights Observatory, at least 23 people, including 5 Syrian soldiers and 18 pro-regime allied forces, died.

Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Leberman said in a statement on Thursday morning: "We hit almost all Iranian infrastructure in Syria. There is a famous proverb which should not be forgotten: if rain falls on us, a storm will fall on them. I hope this issue would be considered closed”.

The State of Israel is worried that Tehran's regional influence will increase and that Iran would actually settle near its borders. The Syrian conflict has offered an opportunity to Iran-close Lebanese Hezbollah forces, to exit Lebanon and attack the Golan, considered by Israel a buffer zone.

The rocket attack on Golan from Syria has been regarded as the most dangerous event in Golan since the Six Day War of 1967.

It is opportune to note that these attacks were launched after US President Donald Trump announced his decision to withdraw from the nuclear Agreement with Iran signed in Vienna in 2015.

In addition to the US decision to withdraw from the nuclear agreement, it is important to underline that this week was marked by another important development in the region: last weekend in fact, Hezbollah won the elections in Lebanon.

The front, led by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia, sees Iran as a threat and argues that it destabilizes the region. Apart from the Syrian crisis, Iran's relations with Husi militia in Yemen deepened the battle for influence with Saudi Arabia.

Yemen is experiencing the world's heaviest humanitarian crisis while the two powers are at war. While the influence of Iran is increasing in Iraq, it has been said that the US withdrawal from the nuclear agreement aimed precisely at breaking Iran influence in the region.

The tensions between Israel and Iran have climbed further in recent months. In March, an Israeli F-16 warplane was taken down while targeting Iranian targets in the Syrian airspace.

On April 29, Aleppo and Hama were heavily hit from Israel. The 47th brigade, a military base in the Hama area, was one of the targets. Following the attack an explosion occurred in a missile depot. According to the Human Rights Observer, at least 26 people, most of them Iranian military advisers, have died.

European countries and Russia has appealed for calm in an attempt to defuse a possible escalation. France, Germany and Britain, while trying to lower the tension, said that Russia has contacted both sides and appealed for calm. Bahrain, the close allied of the US and Saudi Arabia, has supported Israel.
