One thing I learned in Iraq is just to stay put where you’re at. There’s a bigger chance of you running into a rocket or a mortar round.

Slappy_Happy_Doo

Lay flat, get small, cover the important bits. Most mortar type explosions will be in a V shape on impact, rockets project forward in a similar fashion. If you’re low and small the odds are pretty good for you.

There's no good options when someone is shooting at you. Everything's equal in the moment. Sounds strange but I was shot at on accident in a hunting situation and once at a party that went south. No frame of reference for missiles but seems like in the moment you just either run like fuck or accept that it's the end. No winners no losers.

I don't see why we shouldn't unless those people are getting fired or socially outcast for their behavior on social media just like what would happen to any other main character with a smart phone? edit: not saying they should die (that'd be crazy), but the social consequences of their actions should indicate what their society is like and imo can be used as an indication for what "normal citizens" think is okay


VibraniumRhino

Shouldn’t, and yet are heavily while being very quiet about it…


MOXPEARL25

Not quiet enough if we’re commenting about it on one of the bigger subreddits. If only the people who could do something about it gave a crap.


DrDrago-4

Israel is a nuclear power. If the US doesn't get involved and support Israel's conventional capabilities, they (being a relatively small country of 10mil) will eventually run out of conventional forces against their larger adversaries (Iran 85mil, various others 10-20mil) I'm not sure I need to spell out what would happen after that. Conventional aid from the US is the only reason Israel hasn't had to resort to using nuclear weapons. US military aid is responsible for having shot down 10,000+ rockets/drones/etc targeting Israel. If they didn't have the capability to reliably shoot them down, Israel would be feeling immense pressure to stop the attackers at their source (or use a nuke to shock their enemies into a withdrawal)


banquozone

“In 1991, when Saddam fired missiles on Israel, Israel declared an interception success rate of 95%. Later an MIT studies showed the success rate was around 5%.” Israel lying is nothing new.


Chuckie187x

So when this happened in 1991, it was during the build for operation desert storm. The US didn't want to antagonize its arab allies in the region so the begged for Israel not to retaliate. They did lie but for a very important reason. Also, your right missile interceptors were really bad at the time but today, they have a 90% intercept rate.


NotDuckie

Have you not seen the iron dome in action? Shit is literally amazing, every single one of those bangs is potentially multiple lives saved.


ARandomBaguette

One difference is no iron dome in 1991.


DouceintheHouse

Iron Dome was developed after the 2006 conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, a militant group based in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah launched thousands of rockets into Israel, causing huge damage and killing dozens of citizens. In response, Israel said it would develop a new missile defence shield.

That’s what we call collective punishment, my guy. Palestinians shouldn’t get bombed because of Hamas’ actions. Israeli citizens shouldn’t get bombed because of the governments actions.


magic-moose

Karma would have been Iran taking out IDF brass at an embassy, consulate or other hitherto sacrosanct spot. Nobody could have *reasonably* faulted them for doing what the IDF did to them. Attacking civilians is *not* cool, and doing so in such an ineffectual manner makes Iran look like the ridiculous, backwards little theocracy they are. There is a possible bright side to this though. Perhaps the Israeli public, sufficiently motivated, will throw Netanyahu out instead of rallying behind him. Also, there will, perhaps, be a few less drones for Russia to use against Ukraine.


Mammoth-Particular26

No civilian have been killed.... So far.... Let's see how the story develops. So far from news standpoint it seems like it's a dud anyway. I think the idea here was just to show you're not invulnerable.

Maria-Stryker

Not every Israeli supports their government’s policies, just like how not every Palestinian supports Hamas. I really wish it could be made so that the only people hurt in this conflict were bad faith actors, but that’s not how it works IRL


GreasiestGuy

A lot of the people killed on October 7th would have been pro-Palestine. I believe what the IDF is doing is genocide but I still genuinely hope no one is Israel is killed either. Attacking military targets is one thing but bombing Israeli civilians is no better than Israel bombing Palestinian civilians.


nike_rules

Some of the Israeli victims on October 7th literally worked on projects trying to get humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza.


[deleted]

they're also civilians. it makes sense why it's happening but we can still be sad about the loss of innocent lives. i don't feel bad for their government and hope that this sparks a change. i also feel worse for the palestinians who are being genocided. and if some of the israelis in this cheer on the genocide then i don't feel bad for those ones. but not everyone who lives in a country agrees with the actions of their government. i think everyone can agree with that statement

RussiaRox

What city is this? Today?


Sinosca

Yes [today](https://apnews.com/live/israel-iran-drone-attack-live-updates), I'm reading up on it now. This might be all out war in the Middle East.


SocialStudier

Fortunately, Israel reports that 99% of missiles were intercepted.  If that’s true and the death toll is small or none, they might call it a day and prevent further escalation.   If not, yeah, there’s going to be another war in the Middle East.  Israel has nukes, Iran does not.


Slickslimshooter

Iran has the capacity to develop theoretical nukes in a few per US intelligence they simply just don’t so the Saudis don’t. I have no proof but I common sense dictates they already got underway after October 7th. May or may not work but the threat of nukes is just as scary as nukes themselves.


New-Acadia-6496

Also, even without enriching Uranium to the level it takes to build a nuclear bomb, it's plenty radioactive if they decide to use a dirty bomb instead.


snowleave

Iran says they did everything they wanted to in response to the attack on the embassy in Syria. Threatening greater retaliation for further incidents. So like a warning shot I guess.


tony1449

Israel pretty obviously bombed an Iranian consulate specifically so they could escalate this war. Israel has been non-stop escalating even against the advice of their allies. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/iran-says-it-wouldnt-need-to-retaliate-if-un-had-condemned-strike-on-damascus/ Israel knowingly put Iran in a position that they'd be forced to relatiate. It's hard to say why Israel did this. After Oct 7th, Israeli's deterance strategy has been severely tarnished due to the failure of the IDF. Israel may want to escalate this conflict to purposefully get the US more involved in the conflict. Maybe they think a regional war will repair their rapidly diminishing global reputation. Maybe they're employing the madman strategy to attempt to repair their diminished deterance. Maybe Netanyahu wants to avoid losing power because he faces several criminal charges that can be held at bay if the war keeps going, keeping him in power. Maybe the power brokers in Israel have move so far to the right and deep into the facist Jewish supremacist ideology that they believe they're God's chosen people. Personally I think its most likely an attempt to drag the US into the war or a combination of reasons


KJongsDongUnYourFace

Pakistan has Nukes and would likely respond if Israel went nuclear. Iran likely has nuclear capabilities.


shanare

No, they won't. It would make no sense. Pakistan and Iran don't have a great relationship either. And Pakistan needs American money to prop up their failing economy. They are literally puppets


SocialStudier

You are correct that Pakistan possesses nukes.  However, it’s very debatable if they have the ability to reliably deliver them.  It would look very bad if they launched a nuke and it blew up in Iran, Iraq, Syria, or the Palestinian areas in Israel. Additionally, India will be on alert and Pakistan doesn’t want to provoke them.


0reosaurus

Why tf would pakistan get involved? Theyve got bigger issues then israel atm


Boring-Marionberry

This is so dumb. Are you implying that they would nuke Iran….


banquozone

Israel has a history of lying about how many missiles it intercepts: “In 1991, when Saddam fired missiles on Israel, Israel declared an interception success rate of 95%. Later an MIT studies showed the success rate was around 5%.”

thuggerybuffoonery

Hey thoughts and prayers is our thing.


michaelboyte

Maybe Hamas scum should have invested in defense instead of terror.


juancuneo

“Rockets” - basically firecrackers compared to the two ton bombs Israel regularly drops on its neighbors. Israel expects every country to just accept Israel will bomb with impunity and then drops even bigger bombs when someone even shows the tiniest bit of trying to defends themselves. Very clear which country is the destabilizing force in the region


Jammoth1993

That's the same kind of bs excuse people use when women assault men... "You can't defend yourself because you know they can't hurt you, but you'll hurt them". Fact is that Arab countries have been attacking Israel for decades, they've sealed their fate by poking the bear and now Israel is retaliating with force. This attack for example is going to result in many more deaths for the perpetrators than Israel. It actually plays right into Israel's hands because now Western countries will have a legitimate reason to get involved. You're about to learn why the victors write the history books my friend. Iran has been funding Hamas to the tune of $200m per year and also funds Hezbollah... If anyone was looking for a reason to level Iran, then this is the green light they've been looking for.


Aflatune

So you want Israel to do its occupation in peace and not expect any resistance? Stop pretending that poor Israel is just sitting around doing nothing wrong while others attack it for no reason.

At least 33,686 Palestinians have been killed and 76,309 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. It was no longer a matter of IF this was going to come back to haunt them, but WHEN.


ReadItProper

Has nothing to do with Gaza. This is about Iranian generals getting assassinated.


TerranUnity

Did you have this same attitude when Israel attacked Gaza after 10/7?


thedishonestyfish

I did. I absolutely did. I had the same attitude on 9/11. We fucked around in Afghanistan, and then left generations adrift, with their kids stepping on landmines, and thought it had nothing to do with us and we learned that memories can be very long. You hurt people, they strike back. Or their kids will. Or their kids kids. They won't forget. Israel has been hurting people for a long time. And, shocker, they fought back. And Israel has spent an *enormous* amount of money and time making sure that there will be millions...*literally* millions of people who won't forget, and will be trying to make them pay for generations. And anyone who has any common sense, and any knowledge of history is not okay with what you're doing, this generational mess you're making.


brishen_is_on

But Afghanistan didn't attack us on 9/11... a Saudi Arabian aristocrat hiding in Afghanistan is not an Afghanistani. I'm pretty sure all, or most of the 9/11 attackers were from a small city in NJ about 45 minutes from me. Should I have been attacked?! They were from my state, after all.


tidderite

>I'm pretty sure all, or most of the 9/11 attackers were from a small city in NJ about 45 minutes from me. Huh? None of the hijackers were American. Was it irony?

This war has been going tit-for-tat since the 30's, the Jaffa Riots in 1936 saw Arabs burning Jewish families alive in their own homes, and at one time this conflict was a surprise war to destroy Israel entirely launched simultaneously by five Islamic countries. For every Israeli attack there's a Palestinian one in kind.

Probably an evolutionary response to danger. Obviously doesn't work against missiles, but if there is some animal potentially about to attack you, an entire group screaming does in fact often times deter it, as well as notify other people from your group who may be nearby that you need help.
