Israel needs to quit crying wolf.

They have been saying this for 20 years now and still no barrage of missile attack from Iran.

If Iran does attack Israel, then we will strike Iran.

Israel needs to quit crying wolf. They have been saying this for 20 years now and still no barrage of missile attack from Iran.

Israel has been hit with constant missile attacks from Southern Lebanon, Gaza, etc. Since 2001, Palestinian militants have launched thousands of rocket and mortar attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip as part of the continuing Arab–Israeli conflict. From 2004 to 2014, these attacks have killed 27 Israeli civilians, 5 foreign nationals, 5 IDF soldiers, and at least 11 Palestinians and injured more than 1900 people, but their main effect is their creation of widespread psychological trauma and disruption of daily life among the Israeli populace. Attacks began in 2001. Since then (August 2014 data), almost 20,000 rockets have hit southern Israel, all but a few thousand of them since Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in August 2005.

Attacks began in 2001. Since then (August 2014 data), almost 20,000 rockets have hit southern Israel, all but a few thousand of them since Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in August 2005. Iran supplied the missiles.

Iran is now in Syria at the border of Israel. They are building their forces, including arming them with missiles. On April 7, Israel launched rockets against Syrian military bases on the border. An official from a regional alliance including Iran, Hezbollah and Syria, said that the strikes killed 16 people, among them 11 Iranians, according to the New York Times. The report said the bombardment also destroyed 200 missiles. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity, as he was permitted to speak to the press.

Israel expects retaliation from those attacks.
