>>512366465palestine (actually the Gaza strip) attacked a music festival protesting the fucking wall around Gaza, and in the process performed the worst (and most effective) act of terror since 9/11 (seriously, the death toll was higher).
this seriously pissed off the Israelis and many of their allies. In general, it was not a good move. The Israelis finally (after like a month) got off their collective ass and started slaughtering everything in the region of Gaza in the hopes of properly removing the monsters that had been responsible for the events of October 6th. they were apparently rather effective this time.
Israelis winning at anything gets the entire Arab world up in arms and butthurt. as a result people claiming to be rebels (but are sponsored by Iran) in Yemen began shooting missiles at any and all ships moving through the strait of Hormuz. this gave the United States a chance to test out their missile defense systems. the United States was very happy about this because nobody had actually shot at the U.S. boats since Japan learned it was a bad idea; they needed the exercise.
besides the terrible shots occurring in the gulf of Aden, political pressure against Israel finally forced the formal war to a close; or at least a cease fire. at this point, Gaza is a smoking ruin.
unfortunately, the whack jobs that did Oct 6th are still out there, and apparently still have hostages. nobody can find them, and they haven't made any statements to speak of, but they are still believed to be at large. I would suggest somebody check Pakistan. he was found a mere 100 meters from their officer training school after all.
also there's currently questions and claims that the Israelis are bombing American relief sites inside the Gazan region. if there is anything like that, then we let the leftists go in and the Gazans are intentionally blowing up the "gays for Palestine" idiots.
