    Dimona, where the second missile hit, is perilously close to Israel’s main nuclear reactor and research site. Iranian state media said the strike targeted the nuclear facility in retaliation for an attack on an Iranian nuclear enrichment site at Natanz, though the IDF has said it was unaware of that operation.

    Is the Israeli public “shocked” that missile defenses are not working? I thought that this has been the widely known since the “12 Day War” last year?

      Causing shrapnel to fly a bit is one way to get those numbers without deaths, but even then you have a high risk of many serious injuries, these aren’t controlled explosions

      It’s a very weird feeling. Through the 2010s, you could piece together a more-or-less complete picture of a situation through a mixture of online sources and the media. Now we have full wartime censorship, plus engagement farming bots posting AI videos, or videos from a year ago purported to be from the present. There’s no way to be sure of any specific piece of information, and we can only see the outline of the overall situation.

    What a shock it must be to be asleep in your house and have some foreign country bomb the fuck out of non-military targets.

    What a shame. Couldn’t happen to a nicer people I suppose.

    The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Gaza, Beiruit, Tehran, and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.

      Literally why saying were only sending defensive arms is pointless. Giving them protection from their own violent instigations only let’s them do more damage rather than keep the country safe.
