It comes just after Iran launched multiple batches of drone and missile strikes against Israel. The United Kingdom, France, the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan have joined forces to intercept Iranian drones and missiles. Zelensky is envious, this is the real defense.
Israel had decided not to retaliate against Iran
After layers of interception, only a small number of fish that slipped through the net entered the territory of Israel. Most of them were also intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome, the Patriots vs. Scuds in ancient times, and the Iron Dome vs. Fatah today. The Israeli side claimed that it had suffered no major losses and that things seemed to have turned around. After the confrontation between Iran and Israel at the UN Security Council, the G7 also expressed firm support for Israel and said that it would increase sanctions against Iran, and Israel's attitude seemed to have softened.
Israel's losses from being destroyed by Iran do not seem to be significant
But the Iranian side claimed that seven of their Fatah hypersonic missiles hit Israel's Nevatim airbase deep in the Negev desert. Certain losses were inflicted on the Nevatim airbase. According to satellite imagery, the Iranian attack caused damage to two runways at the Nevatim airbase. It also caused damage to two buildings at the Nevatim airbase. The Israeli Air Force F35I fighter jets are parked at the Nevatim airbase, which shows that Iran does not want to destroy the Israeli F35I fighters. Otherwise, the beam between the two countries will be very big. And the F35 that Iran claimed to bomb the Iranian consulate in Syria took off from this airfield, so it was to bomb this airfield. Now even the Israeli F35I does not dare to bomb, they are afraid of completely angering Israel.
Iran informed the parties in advance before bombing Israel
Before Iran bombed Israel, it made a big claim in advance that it wanted to retaliate against Israel. The Israeli side also responded, and the spokesman of the Israeli Defense Ministry, Hagari, declared that Israel was ready, and you should bomb it. In addition, Iran has notified the countries along the route in advance that it will use their airspace, whether they agree or not. Whether or not to notify is a matter for Iran, and whether or not to agree is a matter for all countries along the way. Iran's attitude has been made clear, so let's intercept it.
A new type of warfare in the 21st century – turn-based warfare
When I was in school, our teachers often preached that we didn't know how to fight the future war. Our teacher told us that the future war will be one in which neither side can see each other, and missiles are flying all over the sky, but a drone should be added. This kind of war is jokingly called a turn-based war by netizens.
Round 1: Iran supports extremist groups Hamas, Houthis, Allah in attacks on Israel.
Second round: Israel bombed the annex of the Iranian consulate in Syria, beheaded 7 members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and dragged Iran into the water.
Third round: Iran attacks Israel with 331 missiles and drones.
Round 4: ......
Israel had intended to let Iran go, but after 24 hours, it figured it out
As to whether to fight or not to fight, Israel seems to have made up its mind to fight after two successive wartime cabinet meetings.
Iran's missiles and drones cost a lot of money, costing less than $100 million in total. But Israel and its allies spent $1.3 billion to intercept Iranian missiles and drones. The cost of interception is obviously much higher than the cost of launching.
Xiaobawang can gain a firm foothold in the Middle East because there are clear grievances and revenge. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once said: We in Israel do not want to cause trouble, but whoever wants to provoke us, we will take revenge, this is our principle. They believe that this head cannot be opened, and if it is opened, it will be very detrimental to the survival of their country. After two successive wartime cabinet meetings, it was decided that revenge was still going back. But the exact time and manner have not yet been decided.
Israeli Chief of General Staff Al-Halevi announced to the outside world on the 15th that Israel would respond to Iran's "unprecedented" missile and drone attacks. The Israeli Air Force is ready to use the American-made F-16, F-15 and F-35 to retaliate against Iran. But the exact timing is not yet known, so this period of time will be torturous for Iran. In addition, the Israeli side has also said that it will not kill or kill people. Iranian President Raisi said that if Israel attacks Iran again, Iran will not wait long and will quickly counterattack.
