I do think there's certain individuals who are unduly hyping up this current situation to the max as if they're literally gagging for something mega profound to happen, plus seem to be revelling in the excitement of it all, especially on social media.
Mainly egotistical conspiracy theorists and serial 'know-it-all' doom-merchants masquerading as 'experts' but are actually amateur armchair 'wannabe' experts/journalists. And such sadcase crackpots are actively exploiting the fears of the OP and various others, and inadvertently provoking them into 'doomscrolling' all the more.
You're correct in the sense that we've lived through various turbulent times at least since the end of the Second World War with Ukraine and Covid (both still ongoing), and previously Syria, Iraq, 9/11, Kosovo, Bosnia, and particularly closer to home in the British Isles the Troubles in Northern Ireland, which did also frequently spill over to the British mainland, the Cold War, and of course the Global Financial Crisis at the end of the 2000s, but none of those aforementioned conflicts/turbulent events lead us to a full-on World War Three or mega Armageddon-type scenarios (at least not so far, thank God).
Back in the pre-Internet/social media/24/7 rolling news era I bet a lot of what's currently going on right now in the Middle East would have barely registered in the same ways in the news headlines here in the West, plus I think there was generally less frenzied hysteria and paranoia among wider society and people also seemed to have a greater sense of perspective at the time.

Theoretically Covid still remains a more immediate risk to us here in the West than the current situation in the Middle East (and Ukraine/Russia), even though that in itself is a far lesser threat now than 2-3 years ago.
Plus of course we're probably all still far more likely to get run over by buses or end up in car crashes than get caught up in a full-on World War Three outside of the Middle East right now.
Don't get me wrong; I'm no trivialising this current situation in any way but it does seem that quite a number of people (including certain elements of the MSM) are unduly hyping a lot of this up out of proportion at times. It will be something else eventually, it always is.
Thank you guys, hopefully it doesn't get as bad as my brain is telling me it will. I feel for the people of Israel, I do. But this war needs to end before it gets any worse.

Things just keep getting worse and worse, my hopes for the other nations of the west (France) would rain Israel in has been destroyed over night. They stand with Israel, and against the rest of the world. Ww3 is close, very close.

Has any of the major news outlets actually confirmed this?
I walked past a rack full of all of today's (UK) national newspapers in my local train station and not a single one of them had the words 'World War Three' printed on the front page, nor has there been any conformation of it on our BBC or Sky News channels or their respective websites.
Sounds like you might be overthinking it too much. Also be careful what websites you visit, and of course social media can be a hotbed for such alarmist propaganda.
Remember we have global organisations such as NATO and the UN who stringently scrutinise situations like this, who we didn't have back in the 1930s, plus there's various protocols in place that keep a full-on World War Three from happening willy-nilly, which partly explains why we still haven't had a full-on global war since 1945.
I'm sure I remember saying the same things last year about the Ukraine conflict.
For all I know I could be talking a load of old cobblers myself but I've tried to explain and reassure with the best of my knowledge on the subject.
