⚡Despite media speculation, Israel is not currently planning to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to four Israeli officials, even though Israel sees Iran’s efforts to create a nuclear weapons program as an existential threat - NYT

UPDATE: 🥀 The Israeli attack on Damascus today killed the brother of Mohamed Qasir, who was killed in Jnah area yesterday.

He is the son-in-law of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

Hassan who was killed today and Mohammed who was killed yesterday, are the brothers of 3 martyrs, one killed in 2006, one in 1996, and the last is Ahmad in 1982

Mohammed was the first martyrdom bomber who attacked an IDF HQ in Tyre which killed dozens.

The IDF is punishing the whole family bloodline.

Israel has largely destroyed "forward deployed, less advanced missiles" and it's possible that Hezbollah still retains its more sophisticated long-range fire options, such as ballistic and cruise missiles.

I really don’t think you understand the absolute miracles that we witnessed last night here in Israel.

In fact, I am sure you don’t.

Let’s break this down.

Israel has three air defense systems, each one of them a technological wonder and that’s not me saying it. That’s Dr. Gold who basically invented the Iron Dome who told me that. The level and sophistication of the Iron Dome is simply unparalleled.

But the Iron Dome only knows how to detonate short range rockets or missiles within a 70 km range, give or take.

Then Israel has the David’s Sling system. That knows how to deal with mid range missiles up to approximately 300 km.

Then we have the Arrow system that literally detonates missiles that can fly outside of the earth’s atmosphere. That has a range of about 2,400 km!! 🤯

Last night, as Iran rained down ballistic missiles on Israel, all three defense systems were activated and implemented to perfection.

The chances of all of these incredibly complex systems working in unison as flawlessly as they did last night, are basically non existent.

If one thing went wrong, if one of those ballistic missiles hit an apartment building, a shopping center, or an army base, we would now be burying hundreds of Israelis.

And all of that is not even the biggest miracle.

A few hours ago, I got a WhatsApp message from a good friend who is a senior executive at Microsoft and who wasn’t exactly a God fearing Jew. Until yesterday.

Here is what he wrote me.

“If you’re looking for miracles man - last night I started believing. Missiles hit all around me but none of them hit my house or any house, for that matter.”

He elaborated some more and shared info about the missiles that he watched land just meters away from very strategic places in Israel, to say the least.

Each one of those defense systems is, in and of itself, pretty miraculous, but what is even more insane is the low casualty numbers from the rockets and missiles that we’re NOT intercepted.

Where did those missiles go? I’ll tell you where. They landed in sand, in water, and in “Empty spaces”.

Have you been to Israel? It’s a microscopic country. What empty spaces? Where are these empty spaces? 🤷‍♂️

How have hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles all either get detonated by miraculous systems or totally miss their mark and land in empty spaces causing zero casualties and minimal damage?!

How??

Listen, I get it. This thought process begs the question, where was God during the horrible terrorist attack yesterday? Where was He on October 7th? Where was He during the holocaust?

All valid questions that require a very serious nuanced conversation.

But if you know anything about what had to happen last night and throughout this war in general, for such a low number of casualties, you’ll know that what we witnessed last night was the equivalent of God splitting the sea right before our eyes.

Guess what. When God split the sea, there were those who didn’t believe it was a miracle and didn’t jump in. And there are also those who feel the need to explain it naturally. Ok, that’s fine.

You don’t want to call yesterday an act of God? That’s your choice, but like my Microsoft friend, if you look at these events objectively, you’d have a really hard time seeing those hundreds of deadly missiles land in empty spaces and not see the hand of God.

Last night was an incredible display of the collaboration between two of the powers that protect the Jewish people: The IDF and Hashem.

Last night will go down in history right alongside many of Israel’s accomplishments in this war including the beepers and the unprecedented low ratio between combatant and civilian, as a military operation the likes of which the world has never seen. Ever!

Last night will be analyzed by military strategists and experts for generations.

Last night, we witnessed history.

Last night we witnessed open miracles.

Last night, we witnessed God in all His glory watching over His children.

Which one? The ones that already landed in Israeli or another ones?

Meanwhile, why did U.S. destroyers like the USS Carney and USS Arleigh Burke, which are stationed in the Mediterranean Sea and equipped with advanced missile defense systems failed to stop Iran missiles? Why did Jordan not stopped those missiles unlike the last time?

Truth be told, everyone is tired o Netanyahu.

How can a country like Iran fire 100+ missiles and yet nothing happened. Iran and their sympathizer are now claiming media blackout.....in a country like Israel.
Is it that their missiles don't have guidance system or don't even know how to build missiles in the first place? There is even claim of hypersonic missile......😂😂😂😂. Check the Russian-Ukraine war when they exchange missiles..... there is always a visible confirm not audio confirmation like the Iran and Hezbollah own.

Yesterday outing for Iran was a big show of shame.

🟡💥 Details about todays ambush on zionist terrorists entering Lebanon as per a verified Hezb-Allah military source to Al-Mayadeen Channel:

- “In the early hours of Tuesday 10-01-2024, Islamic Resistance fighters monitored reconnaissance movements of the Israeli enemy army in an uncovered area opposite the town of Adaisseh, as part of a survey of a possible advance path for enemy soldiers.

The Mujahideen did not confront the reconnaissance force and let it complete its mission and return. Based on the movements and behavior of this force, the Mujahideen were able to set up an advanced ambush in the Al-Mahafer-Al-Adaisseh area, awaiting the entry of the elite forces to position themselves in one of the houses in the area.

- At dawn on Wednesday 10-02-2024, an elite force of the Israeli enemy army, numbering more than 30 officers and soldiers, began silently infiltrating the ambush area.
When the Israeli force reached the ambush point (not far from the border) and called out, “At your service, Nasrallah ,” the mujahideen showered it with a hail of bullets from their light weapons, machine guns, and rocket-propelled grenades.
The clash with the force reached zero distance, which resulted in many dead and wounded among the ranks of the infiltrating force, until the soldiers became agitated by the number of their dead and wounded and began to scream and wail.

- Simultaneously, the resistance's close support groups targeted the enemy's supply lines in Maskaf Am, Kafr Giladi and Matla with mortar shells and rockets, which prevented support from reaching the targeted force.

The Israeli Air Force immediately intervened via helicopters to comb the area with the aim of removing the dead and wounded, and the enemy began firing smoke bombs.”

Naso them dey fear Iran reach?

Today, Russian rep at the UN said something to the effect of:

It is a myth that Israel is superior. Israel is just trying to set up its rival-Iran- to fight the US.

The P5 know.
They have intelligence that none of us will ever see and they know the true state of the power matchup.

Netanyahu's gambit has always been to get the US to fight Iran on Israel's behalf.
As I've said previously on this thread (and all my detractors who claimed otherwise can come forward), the US does not have the appetite for a total war with Iran. The American youth who'll be drafted are so anti-War and anti-Israel it makes the Vietnam war seem like WW2.
So it's always been in Iran's best interest to call the US' bluff.

This is why Netanyahu switched to a de-escalation through escalation policy.
His job, in his mind, was to get a casus belli that will get the Americans to go all in against Iran.
He thought he had it with the missile strike. Biden just told him to pound sound.
Macron laughed him out of the room. Starmer is Biden's lapdog.

The biggest concern right now is a false flag.
He may get one of his sleeper Mossad agent operating in Iran or of Iranian origin to commit a terrorist attack in the US.
It'll be an obvious false flag to us here, but it'll send America into a war footing like happened in 9/11.

That said, we have to be wary about deception.
Some of these reports might be a ploy to get Iran to drop its guard.
Heaven knows those clowns can easily be swindled.
So we should keep our heads on a swivel and only come to definite conclusion after the Israeli response is concluded.
But yea, as of now, Iran is lubing up and Netanyahu is having a very bad 48 hours.

You lie here sha. If anything, Iran has been the more careful of the two. Maybe you don't know much about both country's economy. In an all out war Iran will lose a whole lot more. Are all the missiles launched last night not enough to completely render Israel flat? How big is Israel? If Israel strikes Iran with the same major it will be cries of genocide up and down. Iran is large both in size as a geographical entity and in human population too. Careful what you say o, Natanyahu who behaves like a man with nothing to lose might just wake up tomorrow and decide to start bombing the most important things Iranians have ever come to know. How will they recover from that? Do you know how largely infiltrated that country is? Israel has agents working amidst them without them even knowing.
