SPECIAL NOTICE

As regular readers of oneisrael/israelstreet know, we frequently come under attack from hackers who try to take down our blogsite because of our support of Israel. Today has been one of those rare days when they succeeded. We are back up and running and more secure than ever, but the attacks will always come. Thank you for your patience.

The News on the Israeli Street

There was another missile attack on the Sderot area last night.

Where the incoming missile sirens sounded last night.

At precisely the moment when a large crowd of mostly young people were outside enjoying a festival, the missile sirens went off. 

Click on this for the Iron Dome interceptors working over Sderot as the missiles came in. Two of the missiles were shot down.

Click on this for the moment one of the missiles exploded. As is the unfortunate case these days, the Iron Dome is increasingly porous. Although you cannot tell it from the video, the missile actually hit an empty building.

The good news is that no one was physically wounded. The bad news is that numerous people were treated for trauma.

The Iranian Noose Tightens

Orthodontics treatment will not only straighten order cialis online amerikabulteni.com the teeth for a better appearance but also keep the myriad of health conditions that set in with age.

From the moment that modern Israel declared its independence and five Arab armies attacked us, we have always been “surrounded.” 

There have been times when the situation was dire such as in 1948 when we were outmanned and outgunned. In  the Yom Kippur War in 1973, Syrian tanks pushed down from the Golan and reached the outskirts of Rosh Pina as Egyptian and Jordanian armies attacked in different directions.

However, no matter how bleak the situation was, there was always the feeling that we could fight our way out of it–and indeed we did. And no matter how bad it was, there was never a feeling that Israel could be finished off in a matter of minutes because the forces attacking us did not have the weaponry to accomplish our instant eradication.

Now they have that weaponry.

Here is the situation.

Iran has positioned at least 200,000 precision-guided highly destructive missiles in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. In Iran itself, there are probably at least another 200,000 missiles if not more.  Now Iran is trying to position even more missiles in Iraq.

On the day that these 400,000 missiles are fired at us, we are toast no matter what we do. Oh sure, we can nuke all of the countries attacking us, but that would be after the fact–after asset we have has been struck. Every military base, every electrical generating station, every governmental facility, every everything.

Given the fact that our population is so concentrated, who knows how many civilians will be killed. One million? Two million? More?

Of course the military planners in Israel know all of this, as does every Israeli. But nobody wants to talk about it. We all live in a shared delusion that somehow our multi-layered missile intercept system coupled with our magnificent air force will somehow save us. 

They will never be able to stop more than a fraction of those 400,000 missiles.

So what is the best we can do?

We can try to keep the 400,000 as far away from us as possible, although the missiles are already in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.

Nevertheless, we can repeatedly destroy missile warehouses, supply lines, and ammunition depots–and that is precisely what we are doing now.  However, it is an increasingly futile activity.

Stop and think a moment about the last 72 hours.

The IAF bombed Iranian proxy bases in Iraq.

The IAF bombed Iranian proxy bases in Syria.

The IAF bombed Iranian proxy bases in Lebanon.

The IAF bombed Iranian proxy bases in Gaza.

What we are witnessing despite our best efforts is the tightening of the Iranian noose around our necks. 

Through the use of their own soldiers and proxy terror forces, the grand Iranian plan is materializing. From Tehran through Iraq and Syria to Beirut, the Iranians have set up a land bridge to transport terrorists, materials, ammunition, and whatever else they want to ferry. 

What is the purpose of the bridge? To pre-position soldiers and missiles that will be used on the day that the Iranians and their proxies finally pull the trigger.

As I said, we Israelis all know that day will come, the only question is when. The events of the last few days have moved that doomsday demonstrably closer.
