Also, it may be about time to change the thread title:

This time Israel's response will be significant.

They're already arriving in Israel:

Most are actually overshooting their mark and landing in uninhabited areas near the coast.

That could be deliberate on the part of Iran.

The first barrage was 150 ballistic missiles from 8 sites in Iran. Many intercepted over Jordan. IDF expecting a second wave shortly. Entire country in shelters.

I disagree. The first salvo months ago was telegraphed in advance in order not to have a big enough impact to incur a big response

In shocking news, warnings of Israeli escalations causing conflict to spread happen to come true. There is nothing Israel could have done to prevent this from happening, so we should all huddle around and cheer them on to defend themselves from the hostilities they totally aren't inflaming.


Who could have seen this coming? They'll be safer any day now.

They have the right to defend themselves!

Who?

It depends.

Can't wait until Iran claims they are attacking areas that have utility for the 'terrorists' in the Israeli government. Makes everything legitimate I'm sure.

I think the slogan will be 'Iran is escalating to de-escalate for peace.'

I can't believe this is real Tweet by the Israeli government, but it is:

I guess the bombs they drop aren't meant to kill people.

I can't believe Israel would hide Mossad's HQ behind human shields like that

Note that he says the headquarters of Mossad is inside Tel Aviv. The whole 'human shield' ploy has been immoral positioning from day 1 regardless of who uses the term 'seriously' or, as in this case, ironically.

Some are getting stopped before they hit ground, but MANY are breaking through. This is not good. There's going to be a lot of innocent civilians who have nothing to do with their government's brutal actions killed by this.

There were literally 0 casualties reported as a result of these rockets. There were deaths reported from a terrorist attach in Jaffa however.

Like US spokesperson for the State Department, Matthew Miller said yesterday in response to Israel's invasion of Lebanon, "at times, military pressure can enable diplomacy", so maybe Israel and the US will look at what Iran is doing today as the same kind of thing...
