2023 Israel Conflict - Ground Forces Enter Gaza

Doubt. Most people argue against the war on SPE and don’t get banned.

The army spokesman just announced all schools are closed until further notice. Now im scared :(

I know the Iranians are pissed off and believe they have a right to retaliate, but what benefit would they get from an over-the-top (i.e. non-proportional) response that eventually would come back to bite them?

Agreed that a non-proportional response makes no sense. Can’t imagine anyone ever doing that.

Seems like the scores of Iranian drones definitely contributing to Russia exhausting Ukraine air defense so wonder if they hoping will serve as more of a deterrent in future? Like a quasi nuclear type deterrent from overwhelming drone swarms?

Although even that seems far fetched given US going to be shooting them down too so gotta imagine Iran response going to be more constrained than some the talk hearing now.

Israeli media reports that dozens of drones just launched from Iran

Drones over western Iran

Get safe, best of luck.

If the drones go in a straight line they fly over a lot of US military installations.

Ben Gurion Airport will close down in an hour. Drones suppose to reach around 4 am (5 hours from now). They were launched 4 hours ago give or take, the public was just being informed now.

Yeah I guess we don’t really know anything of seriousness until we see if missiles launched to coincide with arrivals

Shahed carries an 88lb warhead which is very unlikely to injure anyone in a shelter - even if it makes it past all the air defenses.

Just broke into masters to cover it.

What’s masters? Jeopardy tournament on? Oh, that’s champions. nvm.

Guys, I’m starting to think the Iranian regime might be anti-Semitic.

With hours notice don’t these all get shot down? This just political theatre?

Seems russia sends them out to help missiles get through at same time. No idea if that a concern with level of defenses Israel has

2nd and 3rd wave of drones were fired (launched? not sure whats the right verb) according to Iran. Israeli media reports that Israel has started to shot down drones in Syria and Jordan.
