The violent influence of Iran is not only a threat to Israel, it is also a threat to its Arab neighbors

Wherever violence and aggression break out on the borders of Israel or Saudi Arabia, you can find the hand of Iran or one of the terrorist groups that represent him. Persistent Subversion and Promoting Terrorism by Iran not only is it a threat to Israel, but also to its Sunni Arab neighbors, which stand in the way of Tehran's expansionist political plans and radical actions for the Middle East.

This trend has been demonstrated in recent weeks. For example, in the operation of 21 January, in which the The Israeli Air Force destroyed several targets belonging to the Al Quds force in Syria, where the Iranian elite expeditionary force, led by General Qbadem Soleimani, has suffered several blows like this over the past three months. However, the Al Quds force attempted to establish in Syria an Iran-led terrorist army and set up advanced missile bases to threaten Israel's security. However, Israel has shown its determination not to allow such Persian strategies and, with its pre-emptive air strikes, has neutralized many of these efforts by the military. Khomeinists.

In an attempt to change the "rules of the game" and deter Jerusalem from continuing to defend itself, an Al Quds cell recently launched a missile on the Golan Heights region in Israeli territory. Such actions endangered the lives of civilians, although the Israeli Air Defense intercepted and reversed the threat.

Consequently, It is clear that Iran is quite poor in victories in this series of low intensity fights. The Iranians have lost valuable badets, including the weapons storage facilities they built at Damascus International Airport. However, just days later, Iran's leading representative in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), launched its attacks by firing on the border between Israel and Gaza, threatening plunge the Gaza Strip into a new conflict without strategically evaluating a new war in Gaza would seriously jeopardize the security of civilians in the enclave and Israel.

In recent weeks, the attempts and movements of Islamic Jihad to destabilize security in the Gaza Strip have multiplied. According to a statement by Israeli Defense Forces, when a jihad sniper shot at an Israeli army officer, the Israelis fired back by firing a tank against the outposts of Hamas, returning an agent from that organization and sending a clear message from Israel to Hamas: "Put the Palestinian Islamic Jihad under its orbit and do not let it get out of control."

But it is not only Israel that has warned Hamas, the radical Islamist regime that has partnered with Iran and is leading Gaza by even terrorizing its own citizens. According to a recent report published in the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, Egypt has conveyed the same message to the leaders of Gaza. "Cairo has made it clear that Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh must decide whether Hamas will receive orders from Tehran or continue to implement the understandings of calm and restraint formulated by the leader of Hamas. Egyptian intelligence service Abbas Kamel, "he said. the report quotes an Egyptian intelligence official.

The message from Egypt represents a greater struggle for influence in Gaza. It is a struggle between radical Iranian Shiite, its terrorist powers and moderate Sunni Egypt. Iran is trying to light the fire in Gaza with a new armed conflict, while Egypt is trying to extinguish the flames and counteract the destabilizing efforts of Iran. In this struggle, the interests of Israel and Egypt align and converge, both are threatened by the activities of Iran.

For its part, Hamas can not ignore the demands of Egypt lightly, since the Arab regional power is right on its doorstep and controls Rafah, the only pbadage from the Gaza Strip to the outside world.

This point became evident after the closure of Egypt during the latest escalation of border violence. Cairo has pledged to open the Rafah crossing in Gaza by providing an exit border to enclave residents wishing to move out of their Hamas-administered territory in a repressive manner, and allowing goods and consumer goods for Gazeri. Such a move in Egypt is very good for the Gaza economy and eliminates Hamas pressure on its own citizens. When the Rafah crossing is open, "Rafah is a carrot" that Egypt can offer to Hamas as a reward for complying with Cairo's guidelines. When it is closed, it becomes "a stick or a hold on Hamas and the economy of the Gaza Strip", reminding Hamas that Iran is geographically distant and the influence of Cairo is much more immediate.

However, all these efforts represent a short-term setback against Iran. The Islamic Republic continues to exert notable influence in Gaza through its financial support to Hamas for weapons manufacturing and combat training. And this has helped to make Hamas a base for urban war and a declared satellite of Tehran.

Meanwhile, in Syria, Iran has not given up its ambitions to conquer the country and its influence on the regime's decisions is almost absolute. A senior Israeli military source explained the situation very well last year at a briefing for journalists. The risks are all around us, said the source. Whether because of instability in Syria, by Hezbollah in Lebanon, which also forms an advanced Iranian division, or by Hamas, which receives its support from Iran. However, in the short termIran will be completely finished when it tries to act aggressively against Israel, we work taking into account all the badumptions and we will work against this aggression until neutralizing it, I indicate the source ".

The officer described to the press a war in the shade and on a large scale and confirmed that: "Israel is opposed to the increase in the expansion of the Iranian military force. The purpose of our operations and our decision is to deter and thwart Iranian activities in the region. What we see is very dangerous for regional stability and we will not allow it under any circumstances ", he added.
