I wonder if this explains the unusual number of heavy lift aircraft departing Davis Monthan last week heading east

Israel hit more than 50 targets inside Syria overnight.

Most of the Iranian infrastructure was destroyed.

Biggest operation in decades.

It is not over.

Pray for the home team advantage.

Debka has a short article up detailing Iran continuing to ship missiles into Syria, apparently these deliveries are some of what Israel is after.

I'm rooting for the home team on this one, as well.

Hmmm, surely we’ll get the best of Israel by firing a bunch of rockets at them. Right? Dumbass Iranians are ruining Pavlov’s research.

As did Bibi's brother, Yonatan, who commanded Matkal during the famous Raid on Entebbe and was killed in action during that operation.

Interesting Isreal responded 10 fold instead of the tit for tat they do with hamas and hezbollah.

Israel is only the size of NJ, pretty small. But they use the Trump philosophy, hit me once, I’ll hit you back 10 times harder, which is why he probably gets along with BiBi so well.

Iran's also active for the first time from a country directly on Israel's border and a lot further from its sources of supplies and replacements than either Hamas (which has problems of its own in Gaza) or Hezbollah. I think the Israelis can make a case for a fairly substantial response.

BTW, has anyone been noticing that Netanyahu and Putin have been buddying up lately? With Assad still busy trying to hold on to Syria, I have a feeling that Iran may be on its own right now unless Hezbollah is willing and able to take Lebanon into a war with Israel.

Might be old, but it wins the cookie, right? Even if it didn't explode, it would put a mighty big dent in whatever it hit.
