I mean Yemen didn't inflict serious military damage on Israel so they in fact prove my point. They caused evacuations, but I've yet to hear of the IDF suffering real damage. It's always been the Israeli economy, which is also good work but not really what we're talking about.

The port of Eliat is bankrupt.

The economy of Israel is in a tailspin from the combined efforts of Yemen, and Hezbollah.

But yeah, sure, an economy being destroyed isn't military damage.

Let me guess, the blockade of the south during the civil war didn't accomplish anything, right?

It's not when the question is whether Iran can or should do a preemptive strike.

Fine, then the fact that Iran hit many of the targets has become public despite the Israelis best attempt to censor that information from coming out should tell you everything you need to know.

So should the fact that Iran got through with their first attack despite preemptively giving the targets to US/Israel, and that US did most of the interceptions at the cost of 1 billions dollars, and Israel used up most of its stock of ammunition.

By the by, given the cost of the ballistic missiles and the cost of the interceptors, hitting nothing is still a success. Not that that is relevant to this conversation give the fact that we know they did hit quite a few of their targets.

EDIT: Speaking of, a drone attack from Hezbollah hit a mess hall for a military base in Haifa. 67 confirmed casualties reported so far. Iron Dome didn't even detect it.

It sucks when current events happen just minutes later proving your propaganda wrong.
