The Iranian attack was a sham if none of the drones and missiles were armed.

At 7:15 am IDF Spokesperson R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari said that 99% of the aerial threats were shot down, which he said was a strategic achievement.

Zero of the close to 200 drones and zero of the 30 cruise missiles got through to Israeli territory at all.

Twenty five of the 30 cruise missiles were shot down by Israel.

So because the iron dome defense system works, the attack was fake? That’s some weird logic.

@Zaphod42 The Zionists had to use up their ammo. A couple more such attacks and they will be defenseless.

@Diotrephes Good point. I still think that the missiles and drones could have been detonated in the air. That did not happen. Also, the attack was expected. Everybody was waiting.

According to the news, the Iranians told America abut the impending attack.

@sree251 Of course it was expected! Israel hit the Iranian embassy in Syria a couple weeks ago, and it was expected that Iranian proxies in neighboring countries would retaliate. It was not at all expected that the attack would come from Iran directly, so the cycle may continue for a bit now because of the nature of the politics there. But I’m sure you’ll be ready with some new conspiracy theory when the next round is launched.

I expected Iran to lob at least one nuclear detonation over Israel. It won't matter much what the retaliation will be. The place will be a mess.
