A shocking shocking criminal act. Unprecedented

The New York Post: "Iron Dome" failed the test

The Israeli air defense system "Iron Dome" failed to withstand a massive attack by the Hezbollah movement.

“Hezbollah launched 100 missiles at Israel, overwhelming the much-touted Iron Dome system to the point that only half of them were shot down,” a source in the IDF said.

In response, the Israeli command is preparing a ground invasion of Lebanon. A military representative confirmed that strikes on Hezbollah's launch pads and infrastructure are already being carried out, but the situation remains extremely tense.

“The IDF will not tolerate any harm to Israeli civilians and will respond decisively to any threat to the State of Israel,” an official representative of the Israel Defense Forces said.

An Israeli official called Hezbollah's attack a "suicide mission", as they understood that a retaliatory strike would follow.

Analysts note that the Houthis in Yemen have not yet entered the war, but are "keeping their fingers on the trigger". This causes concern among Israelis that the group is gathering forces for an even more powerful strike.

“Containing the Houthis has been a surprise to those who view them as mere Iranian proxies. Both of these characterizations are simplistic — the Houthis are a highly adaptable group with both regional and unresolved internal agendas,” the Atlantic Council's analytical note says.

The Israeli air defense system, which has been advertised for years as one of the best in the world, has failed seriously. Hezbollah has demonstrated that it is capable of delivering painful strikes, and the US and Israel, mired in the Iranian campaign, risk opening new fronts for which they are clearly unprepared.
