    Israel intentionally puts military targets inside densely populated civilian areas.

    Mossad, their intelligence agency, is one example…

    When you hear Israel complaining that Iran has killed civilians, just know that it’s because Israel intentionally uses Israelis as human shields.

            As an example, in the USA where I live.

            I don’t support racists who use their first amendment protections from the USA constitution to say dumb, stupid shit.

            But I also don’t support killing them.

            Please don’t support murder of civilians, even if they are dumb, racist, antisemitic, mother fuckers (as the Israeli settlers are in the West Bank).

            I do feel your sentiments though. Israeli civilians are not looking their best on the world stage at the moment.

            If you need someone to direct your ire at, look to politicians who support the Israeli government you can work to vote out of office.

              You fundamentally misunderstand Israel. It’s a settler colonial expansionist state. Every individual who, after witnessing the genocide over the past 3 years, hasn’t yet left, is an occupier.

              The end goal isn’t reforming Israel, it’s the complete dismantling of the state so the land can be returned to its rightful people: the Palestinians.

              To that end, there’s going to be no “let’s make sure Israeli feelings aren’t hurt”. This is war. Palestinians have been living under it for a century. There’s no place for pearl clutching

        How can they be indigenous when they didn’t live there before 1947? If I kick you out of your house, can I claim to have grown up in it, as long as a few days have passed? Can my children claim it as their ancestral house, even while you are still standing on the street asking to please have your home returned? What if I shoot you in front of your wife and children? Will it then be my ancestral home, in which I’ve lived for generations? Or should the home be given back to your wife and your kids who lived in it before I kicked you out?

        It wouldn’t be the first time the USA has employed the “Imma strike you, but if you strike back you’re a peace hating savage” tactic. They’ve done it several times already. For any country that acts diplomatically in good faith, it puts you in quite a tough spot. If you strike back (especially if you strike back harder), then you’re risking escalations, but if you do nothing, then your enemy has gotten a free strike in.

        I hear it is actually preferential to cripple soldiers rather than outright kill them in attritional warfare. A dead soldier is a martyr. A cripple is a terrifying look at your future + an expense.

          This won’t be an attritional war in terms of bodies tho. A land invasion of US troops is unlikely. Killing those troops instead instills fear in troops and makes the US public recoil.

          Naw, this is one of those often repeated ideas based on someone’s guess being spread as a factual. Wounded troops don’t actually cause more problems for a military than dead ones. Wounded can either return to combat after healing or return home to train other troops/work in factories/whatever. Dead troops means all the training that went into a person is now gone.

          There’s also the logistics of dealing with dead bodies, something much more resource intensive than people who are only wounded. Serious blow to morale if bodies aren’t returned for funerals, nor can you leave them piled around because of disease.

    The British Defense Secretary John Healey says Iran launched two missiles toward Cyprus. Healey confirmed thousands of British troops are stationed in Cyprus, which also hosts significant IOF reserve bases, air defense, and intelligence infrastructure.

    ■ Cyprus has played a key logistical and military role for the IOF, US, and UK in carrying out the Gaza genocide.

    ■ Hezbollah’s martyred leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned Cyprus in 2024, “[Israel believes] that if their own airports are targeted, they will use Cypriot airports and facilities. Therefore, the Cypriot government must understand that opening Cypriot airports and bases for war against Lebanon will make Cyprus an enemy of the war.”

    ■ Now, Iran is striking back at Cyprus for their role in carrying out Western aggression against the region.

    Iranian missiles continue to undermine years of propaganda about defense systems.

    With targets in Israel being hit by Iranian missiles and other targets at American bases in the Gulf region, even in the face of numerous Patriot batteries that are now known to be firing with little success, given the numerous explosions in Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Kingdom (typo for UAE I’m sure), Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

    I’m If the Iranian launches maintain the current pace, they should deplete the Patriot interceptor stockpiles protecting these bases within 48 hours, leaving only Riyadh, which possesses a large number of its own batteries with ammunition, including a THAAD battery.

    In the case of Jordan, there is also coverage by batteries on Israeli territory. In the case of Israel, interceptions appear to have failed again, as several explosions have been heard in various cities. Iran appears to have used its most modern missiles in the initial attacks.

    Despite the evident success of the Iranian missiles, it is still too early to discuss the degree of failure of the air defenses, not to mention that they exist.

    On both sides, the attacks hit civilian targets, and in Tel Aviv, houses are burning, while in Iran, a school was hit, leaving at least 23 children dead and others trapped under rubble. To further complicate the security of patriotic supplies in the region, the Houthis announced the closure of traffic in the Red Sea and full support for Iranian retaliation, which should mean missiles targeting American and Israeli bases.

    With the start of naval combat, it will be possible to see how prepared Iran is for a prolonged conflict, supporting bombings on its territory.
