Iranian attack on Israel ...overcapacity. Israel's brutal and savage bombing and killing of Palestinians not over capacity?

 The recent retaliation by Iran against Israel's unprovoked attack on the Iranian Embassy in Syria did a very important eye-opening realization for countries in the Middle East. That it led to the killing of the myth about Israel's age old 'Iron Dome' invincibility is not lost on Iran and Hezbollah, least of all Hamas.

In the past, no one thought that using overwhelming number of drones and missiles will be able to cripple the Iron Dome's defense capabilities. Iran probably learnt the tactic much earlier, a year a two earlier, when Lebanese and Hezbollah were firing cheap rockets into Israel to elicit Israel to fire their very expensive defense missiles in response. How many of such defense missiles does Israel have actually? And how costly and affordable will such an attack be for Israel, if it happens periodically?

The fact that David Cameron was hyping up the issue of Iran firing too many drones and missiles against Israel, was indeed telling. It may be an over-reaction by Iran, a moot point, as that was just what Israel had done in Gaza in response to the October 7th Hamas attack. Did the UK or the West say anything about Israel's over-reaction in Gaza?

David Cameron had probably realized that Iran had punctured Israel's 'Iron Dome' myth for good with its more than 300 drones and missiles to prove an important point.
