It appears that Hezbollah missiles and rockets caused
little damage to Israel if you believe what the Jews are saying. That
must also be Israeli 'exceptionalism' of being immunized against missile
and rocket attacks.
But thinking about it, we must first ask
did they use their expensive patriot missiles under the 'Iron Dome'
protection scheme to shoot down Hezbollah missiles and had been totally
successful, thereby eliminating damage and casualties.
If that
is so, we must ask the next question of how many of such patriot
missiles were needed or expended to take out all the incoming Hezbollah
rockets and missiles. The USA needed more than one missile to take down a
stationary weather balloon. That says a lot about how many patriot
missiles are needed to take down two to three hundred multiple Hezbollah
rockets and missiles.
And the next question must be for how
long the Israelis can keep firing their patriot missiles, knowing that
to take down an incoming missile is not a one-on-one success by any
length of the imagination. Can the USA afford to supply Israel with
unlimited patriot missiles to effectively guard their military bases and
other important installations.
Sometime propaganda does not tally with facts and needs to be analyzed to arrive at the truth.

The other extraordinary mystery is that Israeli strikes almost always result in taking out Hezbollah commanders like in Beirut, not one but several commanders in some instances. Which begs the question of what they classify as commanders or just ordinary fighters.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, Hezbollah missiles and rockets seems to miss hitting Israeli commanders most of the time. Is this the real situation or just propaganda? Hezbollah rockets and missiles must have eyes and purposely avoid hitting Israeli commanders. Did they do something to those missiles and rockets, like sabotaging the pagers and walkie talkies?
Netanyahu is now behaving like the Mafia chief, castigating the UN and telling everyone that there is no place in the Middle East that Israel's long arm cannot reach. That is sheer arrogance. When the US$ hegemony gets clobbered, let us see how Israel long arm is going to reach without USA unending support.
The USA carrier had just reported taking out a barrage of Houthi missiles and drones in the Red Sea. Hope they can continue to do that for 20 years like in Afghanistan. Maintaining the aircraft carrier and support ships is no laughing matter with the tens of thousands of crews involved. The Houthis, like the Taliban will still be around 20 years down the road. This is their home turf. So will Hamas and Hezbollah.
