If you want to bury your head in sand that’s your problem not mine.

40 total impacts out of 200 fired is an 80% interception rate for Israel with some help from the USN.

And the majority that hit Nevatim hit dirt or runways(that can be repaired in hours). I see about a half dozen or so hits on infrastructure . The rest are misses.

Overall, this attack was a failure. Caused a minimal amount of damage to infrastructure and no real effect on Israeli military operations.
Talikng like a zombie. That denial mode is really embarrassing.
 
80% successful intercept rate is based on every missile being targeted for intercept.

If the majority of missiles hit open dirt, that means the 80% intercepted were likely prioritized and would have hit vital targets. Thus, you cannot say the majority of the missiles missed targets, you would have to say the majority of missiles that were not prioritized hit open dirt.

If this is the case that air defense prioritized the more dangerous ones then you need to recalculate the defense success rate based on how many were shot down vs how many hit vital points. That would make the success rate of defense higher than 80%. However, you would also have to admit that Iranian missiles are more accurate than what hit, because what hit was not what was prioritized for interception.

Given that at least 3 countries participated in shooting them down, I think even 10% success rate is quite an achievement for a small demonstration of power. More missiles would result in a much higher % of successful hits.

We could also break this down further. Did Jordan attempt to shoot down all 200? Did US also attempt to shoot down all 200? Did Israel then try to shoot down all 200? Adding all the attempts together could give a 30% success rate to each country ending up with a total of 90% success. Regardless of the percentages, Iran showed it can hit targets and can hit at a much bigger rate if it wanted to.

South Lebanon is mountainous and movements are slow for now.


If the new head is taken out of commission, it would show that the group is compromised, top-down.
 
Sometimes the best thing for an organization is to lose all the old leaders and start fresh. It is said that Yathrib (Medina) was prepared for success and to welcome the Prophet pbuh because they had so much war all the old leaders were killed.

This killing of the old guard will likely become a bigger problem for Israel in the coming decades.
 
Of course you are right! But @MS Sandhu is among those Negative Nancies of this forum who think nothing could ever be done against the Americans in the Middle East. Honestly, these kind of members in this forum are 'defeatists'.
Several times I had presented scenarios and I have repeatedly asserted--almost right after October 7, 2023: A regional war will destroy Israel and expel the Americans from the Middle East. But all my posts have fallen on deaf ears. But what I say is being increasingly said by credible analysts.
There is no hope for Israel or America in case of a regional war. What kind of 'victory' the Americans could have by destroying Iran when tens of thousands of body bags would come to America and Israel totally destroyed?? Even Sen. Lindsay Graham and Speaker Mike Johnson wouldn't call that a 'victory'.
I don't think a direct war between America and Iran is likely unless American troops are removed from the Middle East!
See the effect of 50+ Ballistic Missiles fired by Iran
Just some random holes here and there
The level of destruction you are talking about can only be achieved by extensive targeted bombing Compaign against the enemy

Iranians can not do that.The more i see this conflict,the more I am inclined to think that Air Force is an absolute necessity for modern wars.

You will now understand why Israel and India are in bed with each other. One supports apartheid tier system. The other a caste system.

I think you have been totally missing the Iranian strategy, friend: There is no denial in anyone's mind that Iran not only targeted only the military installations but also gave a warning to Israel through America to go into shelters. The 'message' of the potentially much more destructive strike next time.
The message was not only delivered but also, as of now, 'registered'.
But you are right: Air Force is important which not just Lebanon, Syria lack but Iran is also far behind. The Iranian aircrafts and air defense systems pale in front of even a middling power like Pakistan unless Russians added some air defenses to Iran recently.
But here is one memorable term I learned from a recent You Tube video comment: "Quantity is quality!".
 
Irans attack wasn't meant to cause death and destruction, they should have used warheads with bomblets to scatter and shower their target areas as most BMs wont be pin point accurate but their attack within a vicinity can be dangerous.
Bomblets have no chance of penetrating reinforced hangars
 
Wow! Has to be some truth in it to make it the main headline right now.


Iraqi drone kills two IDF soldiers, wounds several others​

Mixed reports by Israeli media state that up to 21 soldiers were lightly wounded in the same drone attack.​


Sergeant Daniel Aviv Haim Sofer, 19, and Corporal Tal Dror, 19, were killed in a drone attack from Iraq in northern Israel on Thursday, the IDF announced Friday evening.

Sgt. Haim Sofer, from Ashkelon, was a cadet in a specialized communications officer course in Battalion 13 in the Golani Brigade.

Cpl. Dror, from Jerusalem, was a communications soldier in the 13th Battalion in the Golani Brigade.

In the incident where the two soldiers fell, an additional soldier and a non-commissioned officer from the 13th Battalion were severely wounded and were evacuated to a hospital for treatment.
 
Maybe, maybe not. But as I mentioned to you months ago: The US bases in Syria and Iraq and even in Persian Gulf/Red Sea are 'sitting ducks'. They are the red lines for the Americans but when it would come to an all out war, anything is possible. Anything!! Why would the Iranians keep getting hits from Israel? There comes a breaking point and the Iranians showed that two days ago as a 'message'. Why hasn't Israel responded to an attack on its heartland?
What do you think will happen if Iranians cross their Red Lines I.e hitting these bases?
There is some reason why nobody in region dares to run-over those bases despite hating the US from the core of their hearts .

And about Israel,I think they will respond but that response will be very calibrated since Israeli focus is HZ now.Though i have gut feeling that Mossad is thinking something really nasty about regime in Tehran.
Israel is not the US that can fight at so many fronts at a time.
 
Nothing wrong to mend relations, to solve issues on table is the correct approach

A great example that yes peace can happen by a handshake and good will

Saudi FM giving lip service. He's trying to convince the president not to destroy Saudi oil facilities. It makes it seem like Israel will attack oil facilities.
