I made a stupid bet with one of my friends. All I'm saying, if I suddenly praise the Egyptian government in my next post, you will know the reason.
I'm about to lose the bet, its over
Long live Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, glorious President and Hero of the Egyptian Arab Republic.
Back to normal posting.

Forgive me for my sin.

I wonder if Iran strikes on Shabbat, if Jews have some kind of loophole that allows them to still fly jets and launch missiles.

They cannot use any electricity or power on Shabbat, but they circumvent this by loopholes, like having light switches that have a 10% chance to turn on the light, and they just keep flipping it till it turns on, so that it was 'by chance' and not intentional.

Would be funny if Shlomo has to press the launch button 10 times before it actually works. Or if they turn on their F-16 engine the day before Shabbat and someone just sits in the cockpit all day so they can use the jet the next day.
Btw, have no expectations. Iran decides when and where to strike, and in what manner. Everything else is psyops.

For example, if America keeps hyping that Iran will launch 100 missiles, and it turns out to be 20, everyone will be disappointed.

Do not take the enemy narrative.
