Lins, Lisa and Salissa, residents of the affected neighborhood, stood stunned this morning in front of the buildings, some of whose windows had been blown out. "We live here and managed to get down to the building's shelter. We heard the alarm very faintly and immediately there was a loud boom. We saw black smoke and there was a smell of fire. We went straight to the shelter when the advance warning was given," they say, recreating the moments of terror.

I don’t believe a word of it.

[Mariner]

You don’t believe a 1 ton missile hit in the middle of town?

Even with geo located pics and video?

Sherman didn't say war is like hell. He said war IS hell.

[oldtech]

you have to wonder how much of this is true because of the reporting. I had assumed the intended targets were military, so I have to wonder when so much is reported in Iran as civilian casualties. Wonder if we’ll ever know the whole truth of it?

Using Google Earth I can’t see any air fields or obvious military installations within a reasonable radius of Arad. Moreover there is a 5,000-strong Hassidic Jewish community in Arad. Seems likely that this was a pure terror attack.

[GingisK]

You seem to assume that Iranian missiles are accurate or that Iranians wouldn’t target civilians. Neither is true.

[Brian Griffin]

Dimona is about 20 miles away.

Faulty Iranian navigation technology might have thought Arad was Dimona.

[Tallguy]

Possible. Short round?

If this bile is fair game to spout why not dig up all the atrocities the Iranians and their ilk are guilty of…..for example all the bus fire bombings that blew up and burned hundreds of Israels to death, the day after day, month after month, year after year of missiles falling on Tel Aviv, etc etc etc ….for sixty plus years!

I wonder why you assumed the intended targets were military?   The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard only want to kill Israelis.   It is foolish to assume the IRGC would act like normal human beings.

[Redleg Duke]

The Islamists don’t differentiate between military and civilian targets. They are all damned Jews or worse, double-damned Jew lovers!

[Paul R.]

What, you can’t believe your own eyes? The numerous vids of the damage check out as legit, and many can be geolocated to a civilian area (Dimona) that is NOT “next door” to the Israeli nuclear facility - it is roughly 8 miles away.

The IRGC doesn’t care: For them, terror is terror. They’d be just as happy if the missile hit YOU.
