Israel has reopened its airspace. One young Bedouin girl was badly injured from shrapnel and there was minor damage to an Israeli military base in Southern Israel. Things could have been a lot worse.
The Jewish Policy Center stands, as ever, with the people of Israel in support of the legitimacy and security of the Jewish State.
We reiterate as well that the Iranian government is the fulcrum of hatred and destruction in the region. From Iran itself through the Red Sea and across Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and, increasingly Jordan and Judea and Samaria, Iran venerates, funds, and promotes violence against Israel and against Sunni Arab communities.
Details remain to be uncovered, and plans for the future laid out, but for now, there is actually some good news. The resilience of the Israeli people and the brilliance of Israel’s defense establishment and industries are awe inspiring. Missile Defense works. Not too long ago, President Ronald Reagan’s idea to “hit a bullet with a bullet†was mocked, but President Reagan and Israel get the last laugh. Israeli engineers, scientists, and military minds, supported by the civilian government, delivered a magnificent response to a malevolent attack.
Israel’s partners deserve praise. The United States was where it always should be – at Israel’s side. Although Sen. Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats have a job to finish. The UK and France, vocal opponents of the Israeli government in recent months, responded as allies. And best of all, Jordan and Saudi Arabia participated in Israel’s defense. There is hope for the region in their choices and the Iranians can take no comfort from that.
We are grateful at many levels.
The article below is an early look at who, what and how. We hope it helps to clarify the battle. With our thanks to Stephen Bryen of “Weapons and Strategy†on Substack.
Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi advised Israel and its allies "to appreciate this responsible and proportionate action." Iran warned Israel that any retaliation would lead to a far bigger attack, adding that U.S. bases would be targeted if Washington backs any Israeli response against Iran.
Iran informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, a Turkish diplomatic source told Reuters, adding that the U.S. conveyed to Iran via Ankara that its operation must be "within certain limits."
Hamas defended Iran's attack on Israel, calling it "a natural right."
Addressing Iranian state TV, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps head Hossein Salami said Tehran had entered a new equation in which any Israeli attack on its interests, assets, officials or citizens would invite an Iranian attack on its territory.
Where does the attacker get the right to dictate to the attackee what they can and cannot do? Much more in article
