RISK OF REGIONAL SPILLOVER OF THE ISRAEL-HAMAS CONFLICT

There is already spillover. Israel and Hezbollah are firing on each other's positions in the northern border with Lebanon. In addition to the thousands of Palestinians killed and wounded in Gaza, dozens more have been killed by settlers and Israeli forces in the West Bank. U. S. forces in Iraq and Syria have come under attack, and the United States has ordered all non-emergency personnel to leave Iraq. Iranian backed Houthi forces in Yemen fired missiles, apparently aimed at Israel.
