The 'Writing on the Wall' has been ignored for several months.
The Israeli defense establishment is in a state of complete shock.
Though the writing was on the wall, no one saw it coming from a couple thousand kilometers away.
That is despite the fact that Hezbollah has managed to successfully strike Israel dozens of times with drones without being detected.
The Houthis and an Iranian militia from Iraq have successfully hit parts of Eilat, including a naval base, using drones from late 2023 to mid-2024, without being detected.
Israel has essentially outsourced its defense responses regarding the Houthis to the US.
Only pre-October 7 thinking would have missed the possibility that the Houthis might attack other parts of Israel with drones.
And now one Israeli is dead and around a dozen wounded in the heart of one of Israel's two most important cities, Tel Aviv.

It’s time for Israel to hit Iran with nuclear weapons

Strange how war is brewing every where, and no one is calling for Peace….like a hook has been placed in our mouths….the War cycle has no doubt begun.
Yes
The head of the Houthis needs a “Candygram from Hell” just like we gave Sulemani.

The raggedy people were serious about wanting to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Why would they be surprised about this?
I don’t think that is a good idea. Once nukes start flying they will be flying everywhere. Maybe Israel needs to change some defense strategy and not allow Joe Biden to run any defense for them.
Lloyd Austin told us months ago he had assembled a "coalition of the willing" along with the mightiest fleet of warships in the world to kill them Houthies.
Hey, Llyod, how's that working out??
The SecDEF is out of the office, please leave your message. This mail box is full.
so technology has made the iron dome a bit obsolete - at least when it comes to drones. Time for some counter-technology - modeled on Airborne Early Warning
Thank you, SJackson. Please add me to your ping list.
My contacts in Tel Aviv have been discussing for months that a potential electrical grid hit has Israelis doing survivalist prep. I doubt this is talked about in the press.
What the Dem strategists are doing to Israel is the same thing they’re doing to our country. If 45 doesn’t make it to 47, the soft coup d’etat of 2020 will turn hard overnight.
It was discussed a bit in the media about a month ago. The threat was though to be Hezbollah. The Houthis add another dimension.
Israel Defense and intelligence establishment is surprised by Muslims acting the way Muslims have acted for 1400 years. It is called the ‘conceptzia’, and Netanyahu was a true believer.
...Then came Operation Guardian of the Walls in May 2021, when Hamas fired thousands of rockets for more than a week, at Jerusalem and other major cities inside Israel, but the remaining rounds of skirmishes were between the IDF and the Islamic Jihad, while Hamas was keeping out of the confrontations.
This gave birth to the IDF’s conviction that Hamas had absorbed sufficient destruction and was deterred from joining another round.
Add to that the liberal work permit program that allowed Gazan workers to make a decent living in Israel, and the new conceptzia came to life: it makes no sense for Hamas to risk another war with Israel when it prefers to enjoy the stability and prosperity afforded by those work permits.
WARNINGS, NO MATTER HOW ACCURATE, DO NOT CHANGE CONCEPTZIAS...
Jerusalem is the Palace of the King and the holiest place on earth. It still vomits out those who defile it.
The current war in Israel is being waged and coordinated from Iran using proxies. Every vulnerability is being tested. Iran has deep pockets to support its war machine. However, having lived a very long life witnessing endless wars on Israel, I’m deeply heartened to see Bibi being allowed to continue to the bitter end, for once. Those in charge in America will try to prevent a victory. But even the lib Jews in my family want to see Israel fight to the end.
