Attack on Israel was a fizzer
The way the media was talking -
I thought it was the start of WW3 – the end of the world - but no one was hurt
And nothing happened.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ ... l-reports/
Hebrew media reports claim that not a single drone or cruise missile managed to infiltrate Israeli airspace.
According to the unsourced reports, most ballistic missiles were also knocked down outside of Israeli airspace.
A report in Ynet says some 20 cruise missiles were downed short of Israel’s borders.
The US, UK and Jordan helped take down many of the drones.

IDF: 99% of the 300 or so projectiles fired by Iran at Israel overnight were intercepted
By Emanuel Fabian
Today, 7:29 am
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says 99% of the 300 or so projectiles fired by Iran at Israel overnight were intercepted by air defenses.
He says Iran launched 170 drones at Israel, and not one entered Israeli airspace. They were all downed outside of the country’s borders by Israel and its allies.
Another 30 cruise missiles were launched, and not a single one entered Israeli airspace, he says. According to Hagari, 25 of them were downed by the Israeli Air Force.
In addition, Hagari says Iran fired 120 ballistic missiles at Israel. Some of the missiles managed to bypass Israel’s defenses, hitting the Nevatim Airbase in southern Israel.
Hagari says slight damage was caused to infrastructure at Nevatim, but the airbase is running as usual.
Additionally, he says, a handful of drones and missiles were launched from Iraq and Yemen amid the attack, although none entered Israeli airspace.
The IDF releases images showing fighter jets after their return from downing the Iranian drones and cruise missiles.

Re: Attack on Israel was a fizzer
Now if Israel retaliated and their missiles got through.
Everyone would call them 'genociders' because Iran couldn't protect its women and children.
Think of the amount of money Iran just sent up against Israel and went up in smoke 'ka-poof' like.

Re: Attack on Israel was a fizzer
Israel used a missile that works in outer space:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_3
The Arrow 3 or Hetz 3 is an exoatmospheric hypersonic anti-ballistic missile,
jointly funded, developed and produced by Israel and the United States. Undertaken by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Boeing, it is overseen by the Israeli Ministry of Defense's "Homa" administration and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency. It provides exo-atmospheric interception of ballistic missiles (during the space-flight portion of their trajectory), including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs)[3][4] carrying nuclear, chemical, biological or conventional warheads. With divert motor capability, its kill vehicle can switch directions dramatically, allowing it to pivot to see approaching satellites.[5] The missile's reported flight range is up to 2,400 km (1,500 mi).[6]
According to the chairman of the Israeli Space Agency, Arrow 3 may serve as an anti-satellite weapon, which would make Israel one of the world's few countries capable of destroying orbiting satellites
Deployment
According to Jane's Defence Weekly in 2013, a solicitation that outlines the expansion of an Israeli Air Force facility at Tal Shahar, roughly halfway between Jerusalem and Ashdod, near Beit Shemesh, indicates that almost certainly it will be used for four Arrow 3 launchers on sites cut into the surrounding hills. The estimated completion date would be around the end of 2014.[35] Each of the four launchers will have six missiles for a total of 24 interceptors.[35] The plans for the base were revealed in a routine United States Department of Defense contract solicitation.[36] Arrow 3 was declared operational on 18 January 2017.[37]
On 31 October 2023, an Arrow 2 missile intercepted a long-range ballistic missile launched at Israel from Houthis in Yemen. This marks its first operational use during a war, and its first interception of a ground to ground ballistic missile.[38][39] Since the interception occurred outside of Earth's atmosphere, it is considered to be the first ever instance of space warfare.[40][41][42]
On 9 November 2023, for the first time, the Arrow 3 successfully intercepted a Houthi missile heading from Yemen to the country’s southernmost city of Eilat.[43]
On 13 April 2024, Iran carried out a massive missile and drone attack, targeting major military centers in Israel, the attack was intercepted and thwarted by missile interception systems, such as the Israeli Arrow 3 system,[44] with the cooperation of the United States, Jordan, the United Kingdom and France on 14 April 2024.

Re: Attack on Israel was a fizzer
Islam is caught between a rock and a hard place.
They've 'traditionally' fought and warred against Christianity.
Now... Judaism has come up from behind!
Do they turn away from Christianity to fight Judaism or do they forget about the Jews and go on their last great Jihad against Christians?

Israel does not have to fear ballistic missiles now - those that arrive from outer space.Jasin wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 9:47 amIslam is caught between a rock and a hard place.

Only the Yanks and the Jews have such a capability.
