Israel has vowed to retaliate after Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at targets across Israel in a dramatic intensification of a conflict that appeared to be escalating out of control.
“Iran made a big mistake tonight – and it will pay for it,” Benjamin Netanyahu told a meeting of his security cabinet late on Tuesday. “The regime in Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and our determination to retaliate against our enemies.”
The unprecedented Iranian salvo of more than 180 ballistic missiles came less than 24 hours after the Israeli prime minister ordered the largest ground incursion into southern Lebanon in a generation.
Iran blowing up Nevatim airbase (where US shipments of bombs mostly came in) is a moral victory regardless of their reasons. Better use of their power than helping Assad treat his own citizens in a slightly-less monstrous way than what’s been done to Gaza. Reminds me a bit of when Trump struck Syrian airbases actually.
Also a show-y, escalatory move from a morally dubious power but nevertheless was appreciated by us who actually live in this region and know people slaughtered in merciless airstrikes.
“Retaliate”… Why do people even post this imperial trash?
Maybe stop. Then we can get to the trial over the pager terrorism and this can be all done, and we can focus on reparations for the other belligerent invasion (and 60 years of cruelty, ha ha, just kidding).
The thing with “pager terrorism” is that it was genius in targeting just the terrorists. The supply chain of the terrorist organization was hijacked, and even then no one normal uses pagers today.
There were literally children who were injured/killed in that attack. That was not a targeted attack.
It was and it wasn’t. It was a brilliant move, but Israel also obviously knew there would be innocent bystanders. Overall though, given the amount of damage it did to Hezbollah, I’d say you’d be hard pressed to give Israel a better attack option.
Attacking Iran is pretty much the only solution to get rid of these Hezbollah and Hamas shit stains. Everything is financed and organized by them. Occupying Gaza or south Lebanon will not change anything if Iran is still there to back up assholeseverywhere. And most arabe country would be very keen to help destroy Iran dictatorship that is a real pain in the ass everywhere (Houtis for saudian and Assad in syria). It is the only normal way to finally get rid of the last real shit governments that are Iran and Russia. China is another issue, but they will never react except to make profit over these wars…
