World News Israeli forces put on alert after a holiday rocket attack from Lebanon, Syria, Gaza

Israel's government has put their forces on high alert after rockets were fired from Lebanon, Gaza Strip and for the first time in many years, Syria. Many of the experts are saying that Iran is the source of the attacks.

There were more than 30 rockets fired from Lebanon. They hit northern Israel and there were at least 6 rockets fired from Syria.

After the rocket attack on both its northern and southern Israel, which started in the beginning and went all throughout the Passover holiday, Israel in return shot back at targets that were inside the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Syria.

Alex Traiman, who is Jerusalem Bureau Chief of Jerusalem News Syndicate said, "Just last week we saw the head of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, sitting together with Hezbollah's Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, behind pictures of the imams that lead the Islamic Republic, Khamenei, and Khomeini before that. So, there's no doubt that Iran is trying on every single front to attack the State of Israel."

Alex Traiman thinks that Iran is now sensing some weakness inside Israel. He said, "The Iranians are looking at what's going on inside Israel today, and that includes the debate and the protests over judicial reform, the challenges to the current government coalition, and are recognizing that this might be a prime time to test the strength and resolve of Israelis here in Israel, and to stage attacks."

In a clear move to hinder Iran's intruding, the U.S. Navy has deployed a guided missile submarine that is capable of carrying up to 154 Tomahawk missiles to the area. They have shown pictures of the submarine as it recently went through the Suez Canal.

Israel is recently getting over a terror attack. An attack in Tel Aviv left several wounded including British and Italian tourists. The terrorist shot and killed a lawyer who was 35 years old, from Italy. The terrorist was also shot and killed by police.

Also, there were thousands of family members and friends who gathered together in Kfar Etzion in Judea as they attended the funeral of two BritishIsraeli sisters, Maia and Rena Dee. They were both murdered by Palestinian terrorists as they shot and killed the sisters in their car in northern Jordan Valley. The sister's mother was also shot and she remains in serious condition.

The flare up happened in Jerusalem when Muslim men barricaded themselves in the Al-

Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount. Israeli police had negotiated for them to leave but they refused to leave.

The police decided to enter, but the men then set off fireworks in retaliation and they threw stones at police.

The video spread all through the Muslim world, leading them to attack Israel.

The high tension is because the Muslims are celebrating Ramadan on the Temple Mount and the Jewish are celebrating Passover. This includes the priestly blessing at the Western Wall, and Christians gathered at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Garden Tomb to celebrate Jesus Christ's resurrection.

It is very rare that all these holidays happen at the same time of year. This has added to the high tensions and it has just added more pressure on Israel to keep the peace.
