I fucking love that they just assumed they could bully Iran they like they are genociding Gaza, but instead Iran is raining hell on their majour cities.

I'm sure they know what Iran's capabilities are. This is just so Netanyahu can have an excuse to extend his mandate.

The military censor is in overdrive

I don't think they realized how defenseless they are against the supersonic missiles, or how well Iran has been able to pinpoint and attack military targets with them

I mean, if they weren't aware of the fact that there is no reliable way to defend against ballistic missiles then they trully are incompetent.

No reliable way against Supersonic missiles, the systems they have against the ballistic missiles are paid for by the US (taxpayers) which only emboldens Israel's aggressive actions in the region

They need the US to enter in order to keep this up

Our enemies are simultaneously too weak and too strong.

I know the intended meaning but…

Just because you control the skies doesn’t mean you can’t let some missiles through. Technically speaking, they aren’t mutually exclusive. You can also choose not to let missiles through, if you control the skies.

I have a gut feeling Israel is not letting any missiles through on purpose

I wouldn’t count on it. Collateral damage for war? Might be worth it to them

I’m talking about Israel but I do understand the irony
