Some 400 rockets were launched onto Israel on Tuesday night by Iran, The Jerusalem Post understands, following rocket alert sirens that blared throughout the country.

So far, 4 people were reportedly killed during the aerial attacks, and there have been two direct hits, one of which was in Tel Aviv.

Iran launched the wave of attacks after the IDF announced on Monday night that it had begun limited ground operations in Lebanon.

        The people downvoting you are on the other side of the issue. The side that kills people too.

            It’s not deep at all. It’s true. Both sides of this conflict suck ass. That area needs to fucking get it together and the US needs to stop involving themselves.

    Alas, it seems there are no winners anymore. Just sides. I don’t suspect this will end well for Iran in the long term.

            Would you have either side capitulate? Would you come to the aid of a side that was attacked? When would you begin intervening?

                So, Warsaw ghetto uprising during WW2 when subjugated poles rose up and began killing their nazi prison guards. You would call this a both sides is wrong situation?

                And if not, I see no reason for you not to consider the palastinians with the same ideals as that of the poles.

                And if so, I respect your pacifism.

                  Why do I have to choose sides to believe that killing people is wrong?

                  I see your point with WWII, but that’s not this situation. I would personally never kill anyone, it’s against my ideals. No fire burns that hot inside me.

                Great fantasy world you live in.

                So if somebody does kill someone, we should not hold them accountable?

                Or the victims should not seek justice, should not retaliate? Should wait for someone else to seek justice for them? When would you find yourself willing to intervene?

                You don’t support yourself or come off as rational, and can only plug your ears, bury your head in the sand and ignore the world we live in.

                My point is you’re ignorant or lying in bad faith.

                  Whoa, chill out. If you think I’m wrong for saying killing people is wrong, you need help. You could slice me limb from limb, but you can’t stop violence with more violence.

                  If violence worked, why has this area been warring for so long?

                My point is you’re being deliberately naive and if you thought for more than 2 seconds you’d find yourself supporting interventionism.

      It won’t be war. It will be a series of small scale incursions. The word ‘war’ is bad for business.

        Not for the millitary industrial complex. It will just b another proxy war like the one in Ukraine.

        As is shown by history, USA will not send troops to there is an attack on its soil. Though it will support both the sides if possible.

          Desert Storm, Korea, Vietnam all seem to disagree with what I understand that second point to be. US will send troops if it is politically expedient.

            Desert Storm was instigqted by the probability of having costlier oil if the war spreads to other oil producing countries. Plus it did hurt US by having oil rations and costly oil.

            Having said that I would agree that Korea and Vietnam war was more due to cold war and not due to attack on US soil.

          Ukraine is no proxy war, those are Russian troops. Iran is pulling a proxy war using Lebanon and the various funded groups who carry out attacks on Israel. Iran grabbed that one from ol’ uncle sams playbook.

            Ukraine is a proxy for America and Europe in the fight against Russia. And both of them are not for ending the war quickly. There is much more they can do.

    Good.

    Can you even imagine the bloodshed if nobody in the region could hit them back?
