Yes. Happens all the time. They are fired into Israel weekly. Rarely hitting anything.
Cheap rockets that rarely fly true. Thus hitting what you want to hit is a crap shoot.

Then we will break a few of your ribs with the other boot and a couple kicks to your head with the boot removed from your ASS.

We’re not going to be invading Iran. We’ll take out key assets and leave them looking at years, perhaps decades to rebuild.

Something their cash-strapped regime can’t afford.

I would guess that the entire Iranian Air Force and Navy will be eliminated in the first hour.

Looks like from Iran, with the Iranian government taking credit. What’s the point of saving face only to have it blown off?

“There may have been 5 score missiles and dozens of dead. “

A source for that?

I didn’t think Iranians this stupid.

But if that report is true, hell’s a comin’.

They are circa WWII.....Notoriously inaccurate and only modestly effective when used in massive numbers as the Russians did against the Nazi’s.

Can be an irritant in heavily populated areas.

Apart from the oil, it has no assets of great strategic importance.

Venezuela has more and they would welcome us by now.

I’ve been stationed out of both Taji and al-Assad. Got rocketed regularly, hardly ever any damage or casualties
