Operation True Promise II - dozens of Iranian ballistic missiles hit Israel

You assume the planes weren’t moved/already in the air at the time of the attack.

I would be surprised if Israel didn’t have all their F-35’s in the air loitering given how valuable the plane is.

I would assume that they wouldn't be able to get all in the air with such short notice considering that not all pilots would be present and maybe some would be undergoing maintenance. Although I'm just guessing, I don't know their procedures.

Also, if they had flew all planes in the air, then what are the burnt/black marks in the satellite image?

Having said all of this, these specific planes that we currently see in the image don't seem like fighter jets. So won't be as expensive.

Why America has killed more muslims and some other muslim countries have too killed many of their own too. I don't see the same visceral hatred for them.

I see it (you may not like it), as Israel really defending itself. I know their means are extreme. I have no dislike for Palestinians as they have done no harm for me or my country. I hope the region will be peaceful. But as long as muslims like you want the elimination of Israel, I feel like they have no choice.

Anyways, go on cheerleading. I will not want to ruin your moment of pride. I just believe that it is only short lived. Iran had to be circumspect not to cause too much discomfort to Israel while Israel is eliminating the targets mercilessly. That is somehow is moral victory for Iran. It just seems like choti kushiyan. Don't ban me for my opinion.

As for jews dislike for hindus, let us worry about that. These religions are mature and evolving enough incorporate the changing dynamics around the world. It is silly for anyone to speak for jews especially muslims.

When you are occupying another people's land and holding them in concentration camps for decades, you are not defending anything. As for US killing Muslims, for all it's faults US doesn't shoot children in the head as a state policy.

Short notice? News of impending missile attack leaked 2-3 hours before they were launched. Plenty of time for pilots to get into the air.

I didn’t say they had ALL their planes in the air, I specifically said the F-35 which they only have how many of them? 12? 24?

Yeah I guess so in regards to the f35's with them having 2-3 hours, wasn't sure about that part

Nonetheless it still seems 5 (cheaper) aircraft, in that image have been damaged/burnt unless someone can explain what the black burnt markings in the bays are.

He isn’t even Israeli? How embarrassing. All the dude does is sit and post crazy Zionist ramblings and in the end he is just some poor Indian that most Israelis don’t even consider human? Tragic irony

if the warheads were real we would see similar photos like in iraq, we see a hangar hit with only kinetic effect and some members here are pretty aware of it, like you.

Israel is a military terrorist regime. Do not expect them to tell the truth

@DedBot @Persian Gulf @Hack-Hook Can you please stem these slurs by purported 'Pakistanis' and purported 'Indians' against each other. Nobody know who's who anyway.

Would all of their F-35 fleet be airworthy at the same time especially with the combat sorties flown over the last 12 months?

Power balance has shifted as region braces for Israel's response to Iran, analyst says​

Devastating Israeli strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon have given Israel the upper hand as it edges toward a direct confrontation with the militant group’s backers in Iran, a regional expert said on Thursday.

After killing Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and launching a ground incursion in southern Lebanon, Israel was likely to target Iran directly in response to Tuesday’s Iranian missile attack, said Paul Salem, vice president for international engagement at the Washington-based Middle East Institute.

“We are bracing for a large-scale Israeli attack on Iran,” Salem told CNN’s Lynda Kinkade.

Israel’s assassination of Nasrallah and multiple heavy hits to Hezbollah over the past two weeks signaled a “tectonic shift” in regional power dynamics, he added.

“Before Israel decapitated Hezbollah and greatly degraded it, Israel used to worry about Hezbollah much more when it contemplated hitting Iran,” Salem said.

“Now, they feel Hezbollah is not a major threat and now Israel is focused on going after Iran itself. And that tectonic shift is a shift in which Iran no longer has the balance of power or balance of deterrence between Iran and Israel.”

I consider my Iranian friends very fortunate that their country doesn't border India.

US ability to control Netanyahu's military strategy “pretty limited,” CNN analyst says​

From CNN’s Kathleen Magramo

The White House’s ability to control Israel’s military strategy is “quite limited,” a CNN security analyst told CNN, as US officials call for a de-escalation in Israel’s growing conflict with Iran, and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Juliette Kayyem, a national security, intelligence and terrorism analyst, told CNN’s Lynda Kinkade it is difficult to predict Israel’s response at this stage, saying the United States’ influence over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s military strategy had lessened since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7.

The United States is Israel’s most important ally and biggest supplier of arms. But its “ability to control Israel in terms of its military strategy is showing itself to be quite limited,” Kayyem said.

Israel’s continuing attacks in Gaza show that concerns from the US on hindrances to humanitarian aid have gone unheeded by Israeli authorities, she added.

Asked whether Israel would listen to US President Joe Biden’s message that Iranian nuclear sites should not be targeted, Kayyem noted that Israel has vowed to launch a “very public and forceful” response to Iran’s major missile attack and is “keeping its options open.”

“It’s not like there aren’t enough potential targets. It won’t just be nuclear,” Kayyem said. “You could go after oil fields, you could go after their missile sites, but Israel is keeping its options open — one hopes, to avoid a regional, direct conflict between Iran and Israel. The consequences of that [are] just unknowable to anyone at this stage.”

The US president shared the update with reporters at the White House today
US President Joe Biden has dismissed suggestions of an Israeli strike on Iran being launched today.

Asked by reporters at the White House if the US would allow Israel to respond to Tuesday's attacks from Iran, Biden said: "First of all, we don't 'allow' Israel, we advise Israel. And there is nothing going to happen today."

Following the large-scale missile attacks launched by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Iran will pay for the "big mistake".
