we know Iron Dome numbers because we know how many US sent them
6 Arrow batteries is too many but the number of interceptors seems in line with other estimates I have seen (c. 200-300)
worth noting Yemen have fired 38 ballistic missiles at Israel in the last 2 months and while not all of them reach Israel, Israel typically uses multiple interceptors per missile

Locations of active missile defense batteries.
In a serious war, I imagine their missile defenses would be targeted first.
Now I'm curious what Iran and Egypt know about Israel's airbases. And how much harm they can do to Israeli Air Force.

They've used thousands of interceptors in conflicts plus what US builds for them. It's in tens of thousands. That Iron Dome is only mostly used for homemade rockets and other Artillery style rockets fired by Hamas and Hezbollah. I don't know how it can be used against Egypt or Iran. But it would make sense to them strike all those batteries.
I think US is helping shoot Yemeni missiles down still despite not being open about it like it was under Biden administration. US navy and/or US Thaad deployments in Israel and other nations in region.

The answer is easy. To hide their crimes. They're killing all witness.

Viewing his profile, it seems Egypt views Hamas reprisal strike as bad timing. Iran did too. It makes sense from their strategic perspective and long term interests. Egyptian military has a ways to go to build long term infrastructure in Sinai and upgrade its Air Force. Iran did not cross nuclear threshold status yet. Iran didn't like the timing.
But ultimately from Palestinian perspective, Palestinians don't have time and no nation will fight for us now or in the future. Even if they are capable down the road. It doesn't make sense for them to get in a costly war unless they're ideologically motivated.
Hamas had to make an attempt at bringing about strategic change and a change from the status quo. I really believe that's what the mindset was. At least create a new deterrence equation but AoR was not prepared for that, where a unity of fronts doctrine could be effectively applied and had deterred Israel from taking it too far in Gaza.
None of that exonerates Israel or changes the fact it must be sanctioned and it's committed grave crimes against humanity. Not as a reaction, but rather as decades long policy where it's trying to expel Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank. And never needed it an excuse. It could have done all that to Gaza without a single attack from Gaza -- and US and allies would defend it.

The machinery is in motion. Gaza is surrounded. The brigades have been sent in. Reserve units have joined. This is not a drill. It is the preface to war, or worse.And yet, the headlines speak of “aid,” of “humanitarian corridors,” and of “logistics.” These are not lifelines. They are distractions. While children starve and cities fall, the world is told to look at trucks, not bombs.It is no coincidence. In war, language is often more dangerous than weapons. We are told that this is about “security.” That homes reduced to rubble are “military targets.” That civilians are not civilians, they are “human shields.” And so the killing becomes tolerable, even forgettable.What is most alarming is the silence from those who could speak. Washington, under the guise of delivering aid, has subcontracted its conscience. American firms now manage the food convoys. When the operation fails, blame will be displaced. But the damage will be real, and irreversible.We have seen this before. The speeches. The justifications. The careful choreography of catastrophe. It is always the same: a people are cornered, the war drums beat, and the world looks the other way, until there is nothing left to see.What is happening now is not a surprise. It is a policy.One day, the children of today will read about this. They will ask:Why did no one stop it?And the answer will be this:Because it was easier not to.
