Nesher, which is a suburb of Haifa. The teachers heard the sirens off in the distance and on their own volition took the kids into the mamad.

All things being equal we are a lot better off then the Armageddon predicted in that thread.

Not an ideal situation for sure.

CIA official charged for leaking info on Israeli plans to strike on Iran
Asif W. Rahman, who worked abroad for the CIA, was arrested by the FBI in Cambodia and charged with two counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information

The Justice Department has charged a CIA official for leaking classified documents with information on Israel’s plans to strike Iran in retaliation for its missile attack earlier this year, the New York Times reported citing court documents and people familiar with the matter.

The suspect, Asif W. Rahman, who worked abroad for the CIA, was indicted last week in federal court in Virginia with two counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information.

He was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday in Cambodia and brought to federal court in Guam to face charges.

The department has asked a federal judge to move him to Virginia to stand trial.

Last month the FBI pledged to investigate the leak of Israel's plans to retaliate for the October 1st missile strike on the country by Iran.

“The FBI is investigating the alleged leak of classified documents and working closely with our partners in the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community,” the FBI said in a statement at the time. “As this is an ongoing investigation, we have no further comment.”

Because they can still fire occasional missile barages? Israel has total air superiority over Lebanon
The army has destroyed larges swaths of the towns near the north (we can and should argue about the decision not to occupy or push farther north, but again that's our decision not because of hizbullah)

Indiscriminate rocket fire is basically terror with physics. The drones drive me crazy.

So I think regrouping is not really the right word.

The situation can't stay as is for sure

Well, no one in the thread knew about ILs secret weapons: pagers and walkie talkies...

But even before that the assumed rocket capability  to totally destroy all of Israel was not as described.

Something I don't see in that thread is the huge amount of land forces they had prepped to invade the Galilee. That would've been a disaster. Not clear why they didn't launch an attack

I'm not sure whether this is the most appropriate thread, please link (or move if you're a mod) if there's a more appropriate one.

I guess the film is available somewhere with English subtitles, but even for anyone who can't understand French, the bulk of the film is in English (with some Hebrew, Arabic and French).

Ridiculous the lengths the Biden admin would allow themselves to be lulled into a false sense of security/buy some quiet for a few months.

This is confirmation that Israel did strike a nuclear target, all we had before was rumors about that parchin site and what it might have been.
