I was watching the incoming and defensive missiles shooting across the sky of Tel Aviv on the news.
180 missiles fired into civilian areas with zero military objectives!
Only reason for low casualties are Israeli defence systems and shelters.
Last time Iran launched the mass missile attack, in April 2024, Israel showed tactical restraint. The Iranians told everyone ahead of time, and then launched drones giving plenty of warning to Israel. There wasn’t many direct hits. Iran just did a ballistic missile barrage and is saying more attacks are coming.
It’s no longer posturing, it’s now war.
Iran has certainly escalated this situation.
You cannot fight proxy indefinitely. This is not about “Iranian sovereignty”. To the extent that Iranian officials were recently killed in Lebanon & Syria, it’s because they were meeting with Iranian-proxy terrorist leaders.
Israel is definitely going to respond differently this time around.
Yeah, it is a concerning series of events
ReplyDeleteMy daughter in law in Tel Aviv wrote a quick letter last night to say the family is alive and well, but I wish they were safe.
