Sauds have said they will blow up anything that fly’s over them. Jordan will do the same. So they have a tiny corridor they can even attack them through. They’ll know it’s coming hours before it arrives. The US fleet will shoot them down, their own air force will shoot them down and anything that gets beyond will get hit by the iron dome. A few might get through like the last time and that will be considered a victory again.
The real question is whether they can fire enough stuff from Lebanon or organise an on the ground attack through Lebanon or Palestine.
That’s where it could really escalate. The Israelis are ready to level Lebanon first chance they get
Iran have told Cyprus if anything coming from their airbases helps attack Iran then they won’t have to worry about Turkey or Greece fighting over them !
Our swim coach came up with a rightly nasty session which she postponed til this week because there weren’t enough people there last week.
“I didn’t want to waste it” she said.
Inflict maximum damage? Certainly Israel seems to follow this tenet.
They told the Americans exactly what they were firing last time, it was all meant to be shot down and never intended to do damage on the understanding that was their retaliation and there’s be no further escalation.
Bibi was minutes away from another security disaster last night. A massive bomb being carried by a suicide bomber headed towards a football stadium in Tel Aviv exploded prematurely.
