Armed militant groups in the Iran-backed “axis of resistance” have welcomed Tehran’s launch of more than a hundred missiles against targets in Israel on Tuesday and called for further attacks.
The statements, from groups in Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Iraq and Yemen, underline the regional extent of the current crisis, though analysts says that many key members of the Iranian-backed coalition have been so weakened over the course of the last year that their ability to convert rhetorical threats to real danger to Israel is limited.
