Doesn’t sound like this country is an exetential threat to anyone. Maybe we can finally move on.

I really don’t think you understand the absolute miracles that we witnessed last night here in Israel.

In fact, I am sure you don’t.

Let’s break this down.

Israel has three air defense systems, each one of them a technological wonder and that’s not me saying it. That’s Dr. Gold who basically invented the Iron Dome who told me that. The level and sophistication of the Iron Dome is simply unparalleled.

But the Iron Dome only knows how to detonate short range rockets or missiles within a 70 km range, give or take.

Then Israel has the David’s Sling system. That knows how to deal with mid range missiles up to approximately 300 km.

Then we have the Arrow system that literally detonates missiles that can fly outside of the earth’s atmosphere. That has a range of about 2,400 km!! 🤯

Last night, as Iran rained down ballistic missiles on Israel, all three defense systems were activated and implemented to perfection.

The chances of all of these incredibly complex systems working in unison as flawlessly as they did last night, are basically non existent.

If one thing went wrong, if one of those ballistic missiles hit an apartment building, a shopping center, or an army base, we would now be burying hundreds of Israelis.

And all of that is not even the biggest miracle.

A few hours ago, I got a WhatsApp message from a good friend who is a senior executive at Microsoft and who wasn’t exactly a God fearing Jew. Until yesterday.

Here is what he wrote me.

“If you’re looking for miracles man - last night I started believing. Missiles hit all around me but none of them hit my house or any house, for that matter.”

He elaborated some more and shared info about the missiles that he watched land just meters away from very strategic places in Israel, to say the least.

Each one of those defense systems is, in and of itself, pretty miraculous, but what is even more insane is the low casualty numbers from the rockets and missiles that we’re NOT intercepted.

Where did those missiles go? I’ll tell you where. They landed in sand, in water, and in “Empty spaces”.

Have you been to Israel? It’s a microscopic country. What empty spaces? Where are these empty spaces? 🤷‍♂️

How have hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles all either get detonated by miraculous systems or totally miss their mark and land in empty spaces causing zero casualties and minimal damage?!

How??

Listen, I get it. This thought process begs the question, where was God during the horrible terrorist attack yesterday? Where was He on October 7th? Where was He during the holocaust?

All valid questions that require a very serious nuanced conversation.

But if you know anything about what had to happen last night and throughout this war in general, for such a low number of casualties, you’ll know that what we witnessed last night was the equivalent of God splitting the sea right before our eyes.

Guess what. When God split the sea, there were those who didn’t believe it was a miracle and didn’t jump in. And there are also those who feel the need to explain it naturally. Ok, that’s fine.

You don’t want to call yesterday an act of God? That’s your choice, but like my Microsoft friend, if you look at these events objectively, you’d have a really hard time seeing those hundreds of deadly missiles land in empty spaces and not see the hand of God.

Last night was an incredible display of the collaboration between two of the powers that protect the Jewish people: The IDF and Hashem.

Last night will go down in history right alongside many of Israel’s accomplishments in this war including the beepers and the unprecedented low ratio between combatant and civilian, as a military operation the likes of which the world has never seen. Ever!

Last night will be analyzed by military strategists and experts for generations.

Last night, we witnessed history.

Last night we witnessed open miracles.

Last night, we witnessed God in all His glory watching over His children.

Dang. Smashed flatter than day-old beer.

Talk about being in the wrong place at the right time. Poor sap. May he rest in peace.

But... but.... old Limply assured us just the other day that Iran had just destroyed the Israeli Air Force and all sorts of other equipment and it was a great victory for the Russian backed Pedophiles. Surely ol' Limply was not lying to us?

I saw that on Amir’s Telegram feed.

The guy had no clue what hit him. I’m sure he didn’t hear it coming since it fell sideways as opposed to nose down as you’d expect an active missile to do.

It looks like it probably broke every bone in his body the way he bounced and flopped to the side.

It looked like the rocket body, not the warhead. If the missile was staged, had more than rocket motor and separated, the rocket motor should have separated far, far from Israel or the West Bank.

This site lists Iran’s missile inventory:

https://www.iranwatch.org/our-publications/weapon-program-background-report/table-irans-missile-arsenal

Their short range missiles cannot reach Israel. Their long range missiles have more than enough range, but would be wasted on this kind of attack. We can conclude that the attack was carried out with medium range ballistic missiles. All of Iran’s medium range ballistic missiles are single stage. The table does not specify whether or not they were separating (warhead separates from rocket body) like the Minuteman or if they were unitary, non-separating, like the Scud or V-2.

It appears (to me) that this is the rocket body of a separating medium range ballistic missile. Iron dome, presumably, is smart enough to distinguish the rocket body from the warhead, and ignore rocket body.

The “original” Patriot used in Gulf War I, had a fragmentation warhead and sprayed the target missile with debris. (It’s a little more complicated, but leave it at that.) A new round was added to the Patriot arsenal that has shorter range, but is much smaller and lighter, and four of them fit in the same cannister as one Patriot Classic. The new round is “hit to kill”, basically a steel battering ram that demolishes the warhead on impact. It’s likely Iron Dome is similar. One advantage of hit-to-kill is that is disperses chemical warheads, and disables nuclear warheads.
