Step One: Hamas engages Israel, partially depletes IRONDOME defenses.

Step Two: Hezbollah in Lebanon, with 15X the number of Al-Fajers, depletes Irondome completely.

Srep 3: Syria launches gas weapons.

...and then....

Don’t you think Syria would get nukes back if they fired gas?

A real problem with all of these scenarios is why the hell Syria has to launch a thing against Israel?
Current Syrian government is as pro-Israel as possible in that part of the world.
I don’t remember any shouts form Assad about how bad joos are, no big or little satan quotes etc.

If I recall, the most important fact that aids the Arabs/pali's is that under Bush (Condi/Powell would NOT sell cluster munitions and it certainly is the case under Obama.

Cluster munitions would make taking out missile sites so much easier and faster. Israel has worked around all this with precision munitions, but targeting a rocket launch site is so much more effective with cluster munitions.
