    I assume Bibi ordered them to intentionally let that one through to drum up support for continued strikes against Iran.

      Now that it’s been all but confirmed that they allowed Hamas past defences on 10/07 to justify a massive retaliation campaign, this is almost certainly the case

        But why when they’re clearly doing what they want anyway.

        More likely they just got hit.

      The Israeli air defense system is far from impenetrable as we saw from the last Israeli Iranian war when Israel was repeatedly rocked by Iranian missiles. The air defense can be overloaded by saturation attacks and are unreliable/unable to stop hypersonic missiles which Iran does possess.

      When Israel attacked Iran last year they did not expect Iran’s response to be as effective as it turned out to be and needed to ask the Americans for help. This time the Israelis made sure to have US back up from the beginning.

      Trump freed an entire girl’s school from the grip of Tehran. These girls will never have to face the injustice of their society. They get to taste the pure bliss of explosive freedom!

      I think intercepting missiles explode when they are as close as they will get, and probably just didn’t have the right trajectory.

    Saw a post on Reddit that the us fired 3 patriot missiles at an Iran missile and it got by all 3 patriots.

      It was Israeli defense. And they’ve actually been pretty good at countering Iranian attacks.

      At least The Orange One has survived himself with super competent people like Secretary of War Pete Kegsbreath.
