From September 8 to 10, the Israeli Air Force attacked six Arab countries as if crazy, and Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Qatar and Yemen were all bombed. It was not just a sporadic fight, but a intensive bombing, causing holes everywhere in the houses, ports, and conference rooms. The artillery shells rained in Gaza every day, the Lebanese border invaded small-scale every day, and Syrian bases attacked every night. This time, it directly crossed the country and used the entire area as a shooting range. The international community is calling for a stop, and condemns it, but Israel insists that it is self-defense and retaliates against the attacks of the Houthis and Hamas.
Let’s talk about Gaza first. This place has become the focus of Israel’s care since the Hamas raid in October 2023. On September 8, Israel's shelling continued, 67 lives were lost, 320 people were injured and sent to the hospital, 14 of whom died on the way. There are 6 more, including two children, who have starved to death due to famine. On September 9 the next day, the death toll rose to 83 and 223 were injured. The hospital was crowded with wounded and the infrastructure was paralyzed. The total death toll has exceeded 64,656, of which at least 404 were starved to death. Israel said this was a precise strike against the Hamas stronghold, but the data was there, high-rise buildings in the civilian area collapsed, roads were cut off, and families fleeing were everywhere. The United Nations has reported that the field of Shura in Gaza is in progress, and the power and medical care are all about aid. The bombing in these three days is just continuing the ruthlessness.
Turn to Lebanon, at 1 pm on September 8, Israeli fighter jets broke into the airspace of the Beca Valley and the Hmel region, and bombed the so-called Hezbollah arsenal and military facilities. At least five people died, although the third party did not verify whether those targets were really military. Since the ceasefire in Lebanon in November last year, Israel has not stopped. It has violated the southern border on a small scale almost every day and occupied five outposts, violating the withdrawal agreement. On September 9, the drone was wandering around the village of Balja 19 miles south of Beirut, injured a Hezbollah member. The border line was originally a buffer, but now it is a gunpowder barrel. The villagers are worried every day and the livestock have to be transferred.
In the other side of Syria, on the evening of September 8, the Israeli Air Force fought against the Homs Provincial Air Force Base and the military camps near Latakia. The explosion and fire lit up the night sky, the vibration spread to the residential areas, and ambulances ran around. There is no official casualties report, but the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly points out that this is a sovereignty violation. After Bashar Assad stepped down in December 2024, Israel has had hundreds of air strikes on Syrian bases and facilities, with 86 air strikes and 11 ground operations in 2025, destroying 135 places and 61 people dead. The strategic location of Homs and Latakia is sensitive. Israel always says it targets Iranian agents, but it affects the surrounding areas every time, the windows of residents are shattered, and the pace of life is completely chaotic.
Tunisia was also caught this time. On the evening of September 8, the "family ship" in the port of Sidi Busaid was parked there, flying the Portuguese flag, which was part of the global Samud fleet, carrying 6 members of the command committee. An unknown drone hit the hull and lit the main deck and supplies area. Fortunately, the crew extinguished the fire and no one was injured or killed. Late at night on September 9, the Alma was flying a British flag in the nearby waters, and was attacked by drones. The top deck burned and the fire was controlled in time. The fleet came from 44 countries, with the purpose of breaking the Israeli blockade against Gaza and transporting materials to save people. As a result, it was attacked in Tunisian territorial waters and ports. The boat is 23 meters long and full of assistance boxes. These two ships should have been a signal of hope, but now they have become hot potatoes.
Doha, Qatar, at 3 pm on September 9, the West Bay Lagoon Area exploded and thick smoke soared into the sky. The Israeli military admitted that more than 10 fighter jets dropped 10 ammunition and bombed a building. The Hamas negotiating team met there to discuss the US ceasefire plan for Gaza. Six people died, including the son of Khalil Haya, a senior Hamas official, the office director, three bodyguards and a Qatar security officer. The core members escaped, but Israel failed to assassinate the senior executives. Netanyahu said it was an independent action and Israel was responsible, but officials leaked privately and the United States approved it. Trump publicly said he was "unhappy" and wanted to leave it out. Qatari Prime Minister Mohamed called it national terrorism that night and trampled on international law. United Nations Guterres also criticized it for offending sovereignty and ruining the mediation of the Middle East.
Yemen Sanaa, on September 10, more than 10 fighter jets of the Israeli Air Force flew 2,350 kilometers and dropped more than 30 bombs. The Houthi Ministry of Defense building, spokesperson headquarters, and the medical department of the oil company were all hit. The Houthi Ministry of Health reported 9 deaths and 118 injuries, and subsequent searches and rescues pushed up the number to 35 deaths. Houthi spokesman Yehaiya Sarea said that it was abusing the media and civilian use. Israel argued that it retaliated against the Houthis in previous attacks on Israeli land and only attacked military camps and fuel points. This is not the first time. On May 6, Sana'a Airport blew up the terminal and runway, and on May 28, it destroyed the last civil aircraft, and Yemen Airlines stopped its Amman route. On August 28, the Houthi government meeting was bombed, and Prime Minister Ahmed Rahavi and other officials died.
These attacks were in a series of chains, and the timeline was tightly nipped. It started in Lebanon and Syria on September 8, and Gaza followed up every day. The Tunisian fleet was hit by drones. On September 9, the Qatar conference room was bombed, and on September 10, the Yemeni capital was hit hard. The Israeli Air Force was executing across continents, with F-16 and F-35 taking turns, and precision-guided munitions flying all over the sky. The background is the Houthi Red Sea attack ship, Hamas negotiations are stuck, Hezbollah's border friction, and Iran's shadow is swaying. Israel always uses self-defense as a shield, but the UN Security Council has held an emergency meeting, and the US State Department also said that this will not help promote peace. In preparations for the emergency summit of Arab countries, Qatar took the lead in responding collectively, and Gulf countries questioned whether the US umbrella was reliable.
The casualties are cold, but behind it is the destruction of the family. Gaza has a total death of more than 64k, and famine has caused chaos; Yemen has 35 deaths, and hospitals have been overloaded; Qatar has 6 deaths, and the negotiation table has been overturned; Lebanon has 5 deaths, and the border has occupied points; Syrian facilities have been destroyed, 61 deaths; Tunisian fleet was burned, but no one died, but aid has been interrupted. Civilian facilities were always affected, the surrounding areas of school embassies were bombed, and the media building collapsed. The Houthi retaliated for missiles to fly to Israeli airports, and the Iron Dome intercepted 26, one could be used to get the edge, and the flight was cancelled. Hezbollah rockets fired back, border posts shot at each other. Hamas said that the leadership was safe, but the lower backbone was damaged, so it was not easy to make a ceasefire.
The international rebound comes quickly. Qatar summoned the ambassador to condemn sovereignty violations; the UN Secretary-General was shocked and broke the good offices; British Prime Minister Xingmo said he was against his peace commitment. The White House of the United States stated that the attack did not advance Israeli or US targets, and Trump was unhappy on the phone and publicly cut it. Gulf nation alarm bells, Abraham agreement shakes, Iran updates reports Israel does it alone. Arab League statement drafted, summit document pile table. The Human Rights Group pointed out that Israel's genocide has increased, the ICJ case is hanging, and sanctions are high.
In Israel, parliamentary questioning and protesting on the streets can continue to monitor, and the next target coordinate has been marked. Air Force base fighter jets were skidding, and electronic warfare interfered with Houthi signals. Houthi patrol boats left the Red Sea to monitor merchant ships; Hezbollah members bandaged them and returned to work, with rifles on their shoulders; Gaza residents swept the streets of gravel and picked up toy fragments; Sana's temporary tents were divided into water, and the injured lined up to wrap them up. The Tunisian crew welded the hull, reinstalled the aid box, and continued the sailing plan.
These three days of bombing six countries are not isolated incidents, but microcosm of Israel's strategy. Since October 2023, it invaded Gaza, attacked Iran and Syria, the navy blocked Lebanese fishing boats, and its settlements expanded to the West Bank. In the first half of 2025, the Iron Dome upgraded to prevent Houthi drones, special forces infiltrated Syria, and joint exercises simulated Iran. The first bombing of Yemen Airport in May, the night attack of Holmes in June, the inspection of the Golan outpost in July, and the Beca drone in August. September ago, the cabinet meeting map was connected to red dots, and the intelligence of Mossad tracked Hamas.
The logic of transnational strikes is chain revenge, Houthi attacks the airport, Israel bombs Sanaa; Hamas's talks collapse, Qatar conference bombs; Hezbollah's borders are in trouble, and the Beca Valley bombs. But this cycle of revenge means that civilians pay for the bill, infrastructure is destroyed, and the economy is even worse. Gaza's electricity was cut off, and the hospital relied on generators; Yemen's ports were paralyzed, and fuel was short of; Qatar's embassy area was in chaos and diplomatic freezes. The Gulf questioned the United States, and the summit should be collectively defended, and Israel's risk of isolation increased.
