There is always a danger that the conflict between Hamas and Israel could spill over into a wider war. Besides, the actual Hamas-Israel conflict in Gaza, Yemen and Hezbollah, have been engaged in lobbing missiles, into Israel. Missiles have also been fired from Syria. Israel has hit back with artillery attacks, missile strikes, drones, and bombing from aircraft. Even the US, based in Iraq and Syria, has come under attack. The US has bombed some of these groups, all supposedly, backed by Iran.

Hasan Nasrallah: Speech.
The greatest enemy of Israel besides Iran, besides Hamas, is the Lebanese group Hezbollah. Translated into English, 'The Party of God". Hezbollah and Israel fought a 34-day war in 2006. However, both Hezbollah and many people looking back historically feel Hezbollah beat Israel. Despite Israel's bombing, and battle against Hezbollah the 'terror' group (as far as the West and Israel allocate it) stood their ground. The war was destructive for both sides. Hezbollah in retaliation for Israel's bombing, targeted Israel with missiles.
