It remains to be seen, but its easy to predict a potential for Israel's pride goeth'ing before the fall
The arithmetic of the Israeli left remains the same. Even if you have no lily livered opposition to interventionalism or aversion to killing brown people, the question remains whether it serves the pragmatic long term strategic interests of Israel. Is this going to stop Iran from getting a nuke, or just delay them, and for how long? Is this going to open the door to Iran being willing to conduct reciprocal drone attacks inside Israel? Because if that happens, what will happen? We have to examine whether Israel has the capacity to actually withstand a campaign of bombings, whether it has the military force to crush Iran in a pitched conflict if it gets pulled in, whether Israel has any security means to prevent such attacks. Not questions with obvious answers.
The benefit of peacetime and stability is the comfort of not getting us all killed by making miscalculations. The downside is the rot and slide, the slow erosion of advantage and danger approaching its critical mass. Israel has abandoned the safeguards of the former and plunged us into the latter. There's plenty of room for this dust-up to spiral out of control, and Israel could be overestimating its ability to shrug off retaliation.
Their missile attacks are mostly causing damage in residential areas.
Yesterday, a missile landed near an oil refinery but caused no damage.
The Iranians are estimated to have around 2,000 missiles and have already launched about 400.
At a rate of five major targets per night, they can only sustain this pace for another eight days.
The IDF has the capability to keep pressuring them to the point of collapse.
The only acceptable outcome is for Iran to agree to completely halt its nuclear weapons development.
During the First Gulf War, when the U.S. attacked Iraq, we were targeted by Iraqi missiles and the situation was even more dangerous, as we didn’t have the Iron Dome for protection back then
