The Iranians better pray that there is not one Jewish death in this attack.
Please can everyone try to harness their sarcasm for the time being. I understand emotions are high but a lot of what is being posted is not insightful or necessary.
There's a clearer video of it. It looks like the runway of an airbase, I have no idea why. Maybe they thought Israel wouldn't scramble their planes?
What is Iran trying to accomplish here? Just saving face with their supporters? Hard to imagine that this will accomplish anything.
Well how about this.
Mossad's headquarters is located behind human shields in Tel Aviv.

Considering the provocations, they have to maintain some deterrence.
I don't know of any other army besides the US and Israel who warn citizens before an attack.
Has a state of war been declared? I don't think you'd find warnings if it had.

Lol this is so transparently stupid, I’d be embarrassed to post it
So far it sounds like the only person they managed to kill was a Gazan. How is that deterrence?
So Iran isn't an existential threat anymore? You're trying to have it both ways.
More women and children killed in Gaza by Israeli military than any other recent conflict in a single year
It's not at all obvious why Israel embedding military facilities in civilian areas isn't exactly the kind of "human shielding" that Arabs are constantly accused of engaging in. It's the 21st century, every nation has military bases that are right next civil infrastructure.
Israel’s war on Lebanon triggers unprecedented displacement crisis
Thousands of others are sleeping in mosques, under bridges and in the streets. But the crisis could get even worse now that Israel has begun a ground offensive.
“A ground invasion will compound the problem,” said Karim Emile Bitar, a professor of international relations at Saint Joseph University in Beirut. “We already have more than one million people who left their homes. That is around the same number we had in 1982, when Israel invaded Lebanon and reached Beirut.”
I'm sure that once that double check for any missed missile launchers in their ground invasion they will wave people back in and patch things up.
they werent aiming for civilians and prioritizing destroying military infrastructure. this is difficult for Westerners to understand due to the way our countries have historically fought wars.
also, I would bet there were a lot of soldier casualties but there is a strict Army censor from the only "liberal democracy free country in the middle east" so they dont report on that stuff. if a civilian was injured it would be a different story.
Then don't respond to my posts ya goof.
If Iran had the same callousness Israel does, then it would be a warm as it stands this gives the IDF more excuses for killing civilians
