the F35 could never catch them.

We'll soon know if a mission is successful.

My bet is that the Yanks will supply F-22s and Yanky pilots for the Israeli job -
but of course they'll never tell us.
This is all hush hush. 

Also, against the backdrop of the expected Israeli strike, the Iranians have strengthened the air defense near Isfahan with Torami and Raadami. They are probably expecting an attempt to strike by the cruise missile from Iraqi airspace.

Israel’s submarines are believed to carry the sea-based arm of the country’s nuclear deterrent. Israel is not a declared nuclear state, but has long since been regarded as such.

Aussie's trapped in Lebanon.

An Aussie woman was on TV from Lebanon.
She had to pay $23,000 to get a ride back to Australia with a long route with many different airlines.
It was about 3 days traveling.

Many people are sailing on small yachts to Cyprus and getting a flight out of there
to say Rome and going on from there.

People should have got out at least 6 months ago.
Many own businesses and homes in Lebanon so didn't want to leave.

Lebanon is a wonderful place -
or it would be if it wasn't for all the wars.

TULKARM, West Bank, Oct 4 (Reuters) - The ruins of a coffee shop in the West Bank city of Tulkarm show the force of the airstrike on Thursday night that killed at least 18 people including a senior local commander of the militant group Hamas.
The strike in Tulkarm refugee camp, one of the most densely populated in the occupied West Bank, destroyed the ground floor shop entirely, leaving rescue workers picking through piles of concrete with the smell of blood still hanging in the air.
Two holes in an upper level show where the missile penetrated the three-storey building before reaching the coffee shop, where a mechanical digger was clearing rubble on Friday.
The strike by the Israeli air force was the largest seen in the West Bank during operations that have escalated sharply since the start of the war in Gaza almost a year ago, and one of the biggest since the second "intifada" uprising two decades ago.
"We haven't heard this sound since 2002," said Nimer Fayyad, owner of the cafe, whose brother was killed in the strike.
"There is no safe place for the Palestinian people. The Palestinian people have the right to defend themselves."
The Israeli military said the strike killed Zahi Yaser Abd al-Razeq Oufi, head of the Hamas network in Tulkarm, a volatile city in the northern West Bank that has seen repeated clashes between the Israeli army and Palestinian fighters.
Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee said the military had verified that at least seven militants were killed in the attack, including Ghaith Radwan, a prominent commander from the Iranian-backed Islamic Jihad militant group.
He said the strike had been carried out "as they met to plan a terrorist attack against the State of Israel in the immediate term".
The United Nations Human Rights Office said the attack was "part of a highly concerning pattern of unlawful use of force" by Israel in the West Bank.
