Israel under attack from Hamas


“The destruction of that site, as well as other IDF strikes in Syria targeting weapon shipments to Hezbollah, led Iran to rethink its strategy, according to the military, and to establish a new underground facility that would be safe from Israeli strikes.”

“The site that Iran constructed was 70-130 meters (230-430 foot) underground and thus virtually impossible to destroy from the air.”

“Iranian digging into the mountain at the research center began in late 2017. The IDF said it had intelligence on the facility from the moment construction began.”

“The facility was built in the shape of a horseshoe, with one entrance on the side of the mountain for raw materials and an exit nearby for the completed missiles. A third entrance adjacent to those two was used for logistics and to reach offices inside the facility. The office section also connected to the manufacturing section inside.”

“Along the horseshoe were at least 16 rooms housing the production line for the missiles, from planetary mixers for the rocket fuel to missile body construction and paint rooms.”

“The facility was not yet completely active when Israel launched its operation against it, but according to the military, it was at the final stages of being declared operational by Iran. At least two missiles had been successfully manufactured as part of testing, and rocket engines were already being mass produced.”

Why is the media now reporting on a raid that happened 3 months ago?

The info was just released a couple of days ago... Besides..., there's no possible angle to use to disparage Israel in this story... 😉

Clear Military Target that presented an obvious threat... Why would the media be interested in That kind of story...??? 🍺

Eric is half right. Trump deserves a lot of credit for this, but it wasn't Hamas that moved, it was Bibi. Just heard from an analyst on NPR: this is one of the most damning indictments of the outgoing administration, because Bibi was the barrier to getting this done, and Biden refused to lean on him. Trump however was able to exert leverage before even taking office.

While I’m glad to see this, Netanyahu needs to go.

Like Churchill losing election after VE Day. Churchill was the right leader to prosecute the war. But he wasn’t the right one to manage the restart with postwar Europe.
