The situation in the Lebanese front was a no-brainer.

Hezbollah was and still is a much more organized, equipped, and far superior force compared to Hamas military wing. In just few days of war, the IDF is already losing men like flies. Aside the civilian buildings they have been destroying (their specialty) and the targeted assassinations, the IDF has scored very little against Hezbollah on the battlefield.
Imagine a situation when other state actors join in.

Netanyahu is overplaying his hand here by repeating the civilian targeting mistakes in Gaza here in Lebanon. Whatever sympathizers he has among some European countries are gradually loosening their touch seeing the horrific footages of massive civilian deaths. It will geto a stage where no one will border to be of help to it anymore aside the US. The recent show of indifference by many of the countries that use to support it following the recent Iranian strike is one rude awakening that they should really consider. Unfortunately, the Netanyahu character isn't taking notice.

A fly that has no one to advise him follows the corpse into the grave.
The genocidal intent of dropping dumb bombs by the IDF on civilians is their greatest undoing.

The IDF, just like the u.s military, rely heavily on air power, and the absence of this result in an embarrassing show of shame.
They're currently not fairing well in the supposedly limit ground offensive in south Lebanon, from the voluminous number of casualty reports available, it is fair to say the IDF are having a rough ride against a well coordinated and determined hezbollah who is fighting from an advantageous position.

Nevertheless, I hope Iran and her allies understand that the investment on anti-air assets, is their top priority.

They consider Ukrainians their brother, thats why.

All Russian military strategy is to defeat Nato, and Ukraine is just a disturbance to that goal at best and at worse, a very bad scapegoat. Poland which are Russia's sworn enemy for centuries should have been the preferred goat.

When Russia will fight with all gloves off is when Nato joins the fight.

Russia knows its a war they will win, and the west will abandon Ukraine and probably hang Zelensky (precedence to this fact abound), and Ukraine's fate will fall on Russia to rebuild.

So no point destroying Ukraine when you will still have to build it back.

In 2003, the United Nations called Grozny the most destroyed city on Earth, with not a single building left undamaged. If Russia can do this to their own city, then it is clear they are being easy with Ukraine.

Russia will keep buying weapons from NK and Iran, to hide their most dangerous weapon reserved when the real war begin. For the untrained mind, buying weapons is seen as weakness when in reality, Russia is hiding its strength.
Couldn't have said it better.
If this war was against a country like Poland, Russia would not have persecute such war with gloves on, let alone taking the gloves off.

Russia literally wasted alot of strategic missiles in the first 8 months of this war, striking targets with an overkill ratio. In fact I saw a video were a missile was used to strike a small hideout: something that in today's event, Russia will use a drone to achieve the same result.
The introduction of cheap drones and missiles by Russia was to reserve Russia missile stockpile for strategic development.
Why should Russia use Dr iskander for something 10 Iranian Shaheed drones can achieve with same result.

Vic2023:
Do you think Jordan and Saudi Arabia will intercept the Israeli attack as they did with the Iranian?

[V]

[center]My speculation on a possible Israel response, IF ONE [/center]


Will Isreal also employ cruise missiles or IRBM like the Iranians?

While Israel has a range of these missiles but at a limited stock compared to the Iranian and as we all know Isreal relied on its airforce for force projections as it's more deadly and highly effective. Using IRBM is not completely overruled.

But can the Isreal fighter jets successfully attack Iran?

The distance between Isreal and Iran is thousands of miles apart.
This would require constant aerial refueling. IDF fighter planes would have to fly over Jordan,Syria and Iraq to finally reach Iran, only the Iraqi airspace seems uncontested as there's no significant threat. Jordan had allowed Isreal access in the past, its left to see if they'll allow them to further escalate the tension in the ME. While Syria has some early warning assets(some of which was strucked by IDF following the IRGC attack) and the Russians own radar systems it's left to see if they will use that to alert the Iranian forces of any impending attack.

Can Isreal employ its Stealth F35 to strike Iran unaware?

This will be difficult for 2 reasons :
1. F35 has a limited range as it'll require an air refueling platform which itself could be tracked, it would also need escorts from F15, F16 which are nonstealthy. By tracking the Isreal refueling tankers Iran can easily get a sense of where F35 are and concentrate their radar spectrum on a specific location rather than open air scanning.

2. Unlike what you must have believed, Stealth planes are not completely invisible. Yes they may be rather evasive but they can still be detected by low frequency band radars, while a low frequency band can detect a F35, the problem is adequately tracking and providing a reliable phase guidance for anti-air engagement which low frequency radar lacks.
Also advanced infrared system can detect heat signatures although at a lesser distance, also high resolution optical systems.
The solution to detecting Stealth is having a mixture of both LFR+HFR and other sensors pinpointed at a particular space spectrum for effective detection, quality tracking and successive missile engagement.
But I don't think Iran possesses such ability.

Knowing the defence capabilities Iran possess how would Isreal respond?

I think the bulk of their response would also be from their planes. But unlike in Syria and Lebanon. This would involve the planes flying to Iraq or just at the Iranian border while firings long ranges standoff cruise missiles at targets in Iran, while the IDF has successfully operated in Iraq this shouldn't be a problem.
Isreal might also employ one way suicide drones to increase the saturation on Iranian airdefenses and score more hits. Will the Israeli also employs this air-defense saturation as a ploy of sneaking in their Stealth F35 into Iran to score a more pinpoint hit?
IDF navy is also another capable force not talked about more often. They can employ their stealthy diesel submarine to move into Iranian costal waters firing their missiles closer to Iranian targets. Note that this submarines are an arm of the nuclear response deterrence but thay can be modified to employ conventional warheads.

Where would IDF hit in Iran?

IDF has been know to be over proportionate and deadly in its response so you can't entirely predict its scope of attack. But if they should reply in the same proportion as the Iranians,
Then target might likely includes:
Iranian ballistic missile centers and storage facilities, military barracks and radar installation, the command headquarters of IRGC and probably for bewildering a strike on political edifice even the Ayatolla palace itself.
For now it's unlikely they will strike Iranian oil infrastructure, energy grid or nuclear facilities as that would be an escalation taken too far. But like I've said earlier the isrealis are known for reacting out of proportion like mad Men on meth, so you cannot completely rule anything out.

They don't give us money. A good example is what's happening in Ukraine.

For example, when they say they're giving Ukraine $8 billon in aid, in reality, they're giving them $8 billion worth of inflated and low-quality weapons.

So they produce weapons and give to Ukraine. That's similar to what they do to us too.

I can imagine how downvotes your post would have amassed if it were on Reddit/geopolitics. About the bold, it is said that Russia has lost so many men and has almost drained its arsenal which is why it resorts to getting weapons from Iran and North Korea. The question is: how long is this war going to last? From what I have read, the West's aim is to drain Russia of all its military weapons and gradually wean it off its strengths without invading the country. How long this will go on is yet to be seen.

Some said there was an earthquake on the same day in Israel.
I can't find data on the Israeli earthquake, but I can find data for the Iranian earthquake.
We're unlikely to know where it was natural or an underground nuke test.

The region is seismically active though, so odds are it was natural.
In just the last month, there's been more than two dozen seismic events in the Levant.

Russia purposefully choosed to persecute this campaign in a slow and steady manner.
A slow and steady approach will lead to fewer casualty.
Putin openly said, Russia can hasten up this campaign but the loss of lives of his men will increase drastically because of such decision, so he chose to go slowly.
Russia is following the principles of you escalate one-fold, I escalate tenfold strategy in Ukraine .
If Ukraine refrain from striking Russia oilfield, and critical infrastructure, Ukraine's energy and other infrastructure would've never been touched.
For those wailing about civilian casualty, they should look up evidence brought up by amnesty international on how Ukrainian soldiers use civilian shield to carry out attacks on Russia troops.

If Putin was Stalin, no one will be talking about civilian casualty, because everyone would've been seen as a soldier in Ukraine.
Stalin quote said " A singe death is a tragedy while a million death is a statistics.

MADE IN ITALY OR MADE IN NIGERIA: THE RUSE BEHIND ITALIAN LEATHER.

I told him a story about the British royal family, who once had a leather chair made from Moroccan leather.

Almost a century later, the royal family commissioned the refurbishing of that chair and wanted to use the same leather used for the original version.

When they tried to get the leather from Morocco, it was traced to Kano. This is the same leather from Kano, that is exported to the biggest fashion houses in the world and is now being used to make beautiful bags here at Winston Leather.

@bold Bar nukes which weapons in the Russia vast armory has Russia not used in the war against Ukraine??, Russia has deployed its most sophisticated missiles, tanks, aircrafts in the war against Ukraine.

Russia is losing men and materials in a rate not seen since the hay days of ww2, Ukraine is a different ball game to what is happening in Gaza or Lebanon, or what happened in Grozny or Syria. The Russians even if they wanted to can't carpet bomb Ukraine because of air-defences. Two and a half years to the conflict, the skies over Ukraine is still contested.
