      Yes fuck Israel indeed.

      The Biden administration expects Iran will also launch dozens of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles targeting Israeli government sites, not civilians or religious sites, a U.S. official said.

        Let’s see how many of those are “good shots.” And not “accidentally schools and hospitals”

        Although, the irony would palpable.

          I can already see the headlines, “Iran targets hospitals, monsters!!!”

          Takes rage baiting to a whole new extreme 🙃

      Israel has killed more civilians in the past six months than the rest of the world has in like 5 years. Absolutely ignorant to say “targeting civilians” is bad and not point that out.

      Iran targeted Israeli military facilities, not civilians.

        And Israel got 99% of what was launched, is it not suspicious they suck at intercepting diy dumb rockets but somehow get near perfect intercepts on higher tech guided munitions?

          The Iran launches were a country away. So a lot more time to target, the diy stuff is coming from a lot closer so less time to prep. They can hit the stuff coming out of Lebanon pretty accurately too.

            Simple question, is it easier to catch a baseball or a locomotive.

            Ed: also not to be pedantic but both are fired from another country.
