After the Afghanistan debacle will there be more attacks on Israel?

I am afraid so. The swift and spectacular victory of the Taliban in Afghanistan may embolden other Islamists! Israel could well become a target!

In recent weeks, news reports indicated that there were more attacks on Israel than usual.

Some of today's [8/23/2021] headlines:

  1. Egypt closes Rafah border crossing to Gaza after Israel-Hamas escalation Rafah is the sole crossing between Egypt and Gaza, where an Israeli-led blockade has placed severe restrictions on the movement of goods and people for years.
  2. Fires break out near Gaza border due to incendiary balloons Three main fires, as well as 10 smaller fires, broke out in Kissufim and Be'eri forests.
