I believe the missile was intercepted by the Iron Dome. So it fell short of target.

Schools and hospitals become legitimate targets when enemy use them for military purposes.

These precision weapons come from Israeli technology.

Litening significantly increases the combat effectiveness of the aircraft during day, night and under-the-weather conditions in the attack of ground and air[1] targets with a variety of standoff weapons (i.e., laser-guided bombs, conventional bombs and GPS-guided weapons). The thousandth pod was sold in October 2010.[2]

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Well, I mean, at some stage Baron you have to be a bit less biased right? Just … look at the whole Gaza place. It’s completely levelled. It’s being carpet bombed three or four times over. There is nothing precision about it. You can ‘claim’ - oh we took all precautions. But the photos and the death count says otherwise.

I think so too, looking at video, screenshots of which I published at previous page.

THE UNITED NATIONS HAVE DONE NOTHING FOR DECADES.
THE USA HAVE DONE NOTHING FOR DECADES BUT TELL ISRAEL "DON'T!" WHILE THEY 'DO' AGAINST IRAQ & TALIBAN.

NOW, WITH THE INCOMPETENT USA OF BIDEN'S LEGACY OF 'PROFESSIONALLY INSTITUTIONALISED' STUPIDITY.

ISRAEL IS TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF A CURRENT DYSFUNCTIONAL AND INEFFECTIVE UNITED NATIONS/UNITED STATES -

TO DO THE JOB ITSELF (ISRAELI STYLE!!!).

GO ISRAEL!!!!

SHOW THE U.N AND U.S.A HOW ITS DONE!

Well - so far the ground war in Lebanon has only increased the rocket attacks -
181 ballistic missiles last night from Iran and 100 rockets today from Hezbollah.

IDF says around 100 rockets fired at northern Israel so far today, no injuries reported

By Emanuel Fabian
Today, 10:33 am

Some 100 rockets have been launched from Lebanon at northern Israel since this morning, according to the IDF.

In the last barrage, some 10 rockets were fired toward the Western Galilee and Haifa Bay area.

There are no reports of injuries in the latest attack.

When will they run out of rockets and when will Israel, after warning Leb civilians to exit stage right, consider the firing zone a free fire zone and level it?

Showing restraint is not doing any good at all - only a speedy conclusion works, and in two week's time the press will have found another dead carcass to feed off....

Side-note:- Now you see what was behind Putin's trip to Tehran to visit is co-dictator in The New Axis Of Evil.... we deal here not with principalities of men - but with principalities of good and evil.....

Iran would have to be the stupidest nation on earth to become directly involved in this.

Khamenei tells West to 'get lost' in first remarks since attack on Israel.

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, met a group of elites in Tehran today.

He blamed the regional tension and wars on "US and some European countries" which "falsely claim they bring peace and tranquillity to the region".

He said they must "get lost" from the region so that the countries in the region can live in peace.

He said that he is "mourning" over the death of Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah, but did not postpone his meeting with elites because Iran's mourning is a "reviving and driving" force.

The order to launch missiles at Israel on Tuesday was made by the country's supreme leader - who remains in a secure location, a senior Iranian official told Reuters news agency.

Here's one of the targets that Bibi is looking at:

Analysis:

Israel may retaliate by attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities, defense expert says

Israel is likely eyeing Iran’s nuclear facilities as it determines its response to Tehran’s missile attack, according to Malcolm Davis, senior analyst for defense strategy at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.

Iran’s breakout time – the time needed to produce enough weapons-grade material for a nuclear weapon – is now at about one or two weeks, the United States has assessed.

“From Israel’s perspective, it cannot allow Iran to get nuclear weapons. There would certainly be strong pressure within Netanyahu’s cabinet to attack those nuclear facilities and essentially set back the Iranian nuclear weapons program, potentially for years,” Davis told CNN’s Becky Anderson.

That's what they have been after all along. Wink

Even more rockets to rain down on Israel - it's all on.

Houthis claim to have fired ‘Quds 5’ rockets at IDF posts in Israel

Yemen’s Houthis claims to have targeted military posts deep in Israel with three winged ‘Quds 5’ rockets.

There was no announcement from the IDF about any rocket fire from Yemen on Wednesday.

The group’s military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, says the continuous support to Israel from the United States and the United Kingdom will put their interests “under fire.”

“We will not hesitate in broadening our military operations against the Israeli enemy and who is behind it until the aggression against Gaza and Lebanon ends,” Saree adds.
