According to an unnamed Israeli security official, speaking to Fox News, the success of the airstrikes that eliminated the IRGC Air Force leadership relied upon tricking those officials into gathering for a meeting, and then keeping them there.

“We did specific activities to help us understand things about them and then used that information to make them act in a specific way,” the security official said. “We knew this would make them meet, but more importantly, we knew how to keep them there.”

Absolutely. I still propose a slapping contest between defense secretary or ministers as the method to decide on conflicts.

Yeah, fuck the IDF but a war between right wing regimes doesn't end well for anyone

Sure that doesn't actually negate what I've said though.

Iranian backed proxies

Whomever, it's so hard to keep track now that they're picking fights with all their neighbors.

I think they targeted Hizbullah with the pager attack

Correct.

They're being hyperbolic by saying the next logical step is Israel using kid friendly items for their terror attacks like the pager attack...

Not at all, I was taking issue with that being represented as "teddy bears"

Hamas? No no, Israel detonated disguised pagers in civilian population centers to get "Hamas" people. Mostly in countries they aren't at West with either, fun isn't it?

Did you forget the pager attack Israel did?

u/ztwhixsemhwldvka@lemmy.world · -13 points

Did that actually happen? Maybe you are thinking of hamas who booby trapped children's backpacks.

That's a lot of words for 'We manipulated them."

Israel is just proving that Iran is right to pursue nuclear weapons. If Iran doesn't have the bomb, what's to stop Israel from attacking and exterminating the entire Middle East like they're doing with Palestine?

Hey at least they didn't trigger remote detonated teddy bears or pencil sharpeners or wherever other benign everyday object they choose as a murder weapon this time.

Is it the Fuck Around phase?

I have no love for the Iranian establishment, specially after what happened to those young women when they decided they didn't want to follow their stupid rules, but fuck the IDF.
