FOR the first time in Israel’s history, it has been attacked inside its own territory by missiles fired from Iran.

The US and UN will be advising Israel to end it now or risk conflict across the Middle East.

There is no doubt that without the help of the US and allies such as Britain, Israel’s defence would not have been so successful.
