Israel acknowledges grave consequences of Iranian missile strikes

14 607 172

Four people were killed in an Iranian strike on the Israeli city of Haifa, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He said assistance would be provided to the families of the victims and those injured.

I just spoke with Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav and expressed my deepest condolences for the heavy loss of four lives in Haifa. But the most important thing that resonated in that conversation was one simple principle, an ironclad rule: those who follow Home Front Command instructions and remain in a secure area are at virtually no risk of harm.

– Netanyahu said.



It's worth noting that this statement is one of the first confirmations from Israeli government officials of the grave consequences of the Iranian strikes. It's no secret that Israel maintains strict military censorship regarding the publication of the landing sites of Iranian weapons, as well as the missiles and drones launched by Lebanese Hezbollah fighters against cities.

The very fact that the country's prime minister is speaking about the severity of the strike's consequences means they are indeed serious. Middle Eastern media reports claim that Israeli air defense systems were only able to shoot down 50% of the targets during the strike's response.

Military experts view these air defense performance indicators as evidence of a serious shortage of air interception capabilities experienced by the United States and its allies in the region.

At the same time, as analysts note, Tehran still has a fairly impressive arsenal of missiles, which allows it to reject US proposals to resolve the conflict on American terms.

    It is worth noting that this statement is one of the first confirmations from Israeli government officials of the grave consequences of the Iranian strikes.

    A blatant lie. Just minutes after the missile attack, the Home Front Service and the Red Shield of David report on casualties and damage. Then comes a live report on the rescue services' work.

    It is no secret that Israel has strict military censorship regarding publications of the landing sites of Iranian weapons.

    Only if these are military or strategic facilities.

      AlexZN, but that's strange. The city is being hit with cluster munitions, yet the casualty count is minimal. Experience from the previous 12-day war showed that Israel reduced civilian casualties by at least a factor of 10. And it completely concealed military losses.
      I suspect it will be the same this time. The exact death toll will emerge later. And it will be at least 000. But how many soldiers died, and what they destroyed, we'll never know.

        Zero-based nonsense? We apparently live in different worlds. Catastrophically different.
        You can't believe a world where lies are a hundred times less common. That we're given out information by name every day, that the loss of every person here is a tragedy.
        That you can simply find all the names of the dead and they are not hidden.

    Middle Eastern media reports claim that Israeli air defense systems were only able to shoot down 50% of their targets during the attack.

    And this is a blatant lie. Every day, 1-2 missiles out of 10-20 are not intercepted, which completely corresponds to the claimed 90% of missiles shot down. Every day, reports are published on launches, shootdowns, and impacts, with times and locations indicated.

      And here's the interesting part... There is observation of the missiles that hit. But the number of launches is just what you were told. The public doesn't and can't have access to the real data. So, you can still claim 99% successful interceptions.

        In Israel, it doesn't work that way. The warning system is based on the areas of potential missile impacts. Everyone has an app that triggers automatically after a missile launch, then they have 4-8 minutes to prepare, then a siren sounds, and 10-12 minutes later, an all-clear alert is given. The country is small, military installations are interspersed with civilian ones, and so the alert is geographically based, meaning we know exactly how many attacks are occurring.

          The number of sirens may not equal the number of actual triggers. This seems obvious. Even if we assume the system is automatic. It's completely automatic. And no one can control it. There's always a percentage of false alarms. Moreover, we need to consider how triggers are actually recorded and what detection equipment is used. But I understand your comment: the Israeli system is the best and there can be no mistakes.

            The system is automated and requires an operator. The operating principles have been explained to the public ten times. Launches are detected by several tracking radars, a satellite constellation, and this time, drones, which guide aircraft or attack drones to the launchers.
            Mistakes always happen. At least twice, the operator's intervention regarding the warning zone was erroneous. The failure to shoot down 10% of the missiles is also a consequence of errors.
            The Israeli warning system is undoubtedly the best today.

              Let's go back to the beginning. The best warning system doesn't mean it accurately detects every missile launch. But I'm repeating myself. If you want to believe that 90 percent of missiles are shot down, go ahead. But you don't really have the data. You only have your belief that the Israeli warning system is undoubtedly the best today. (c)

                    At first, after the loss of systems in the Gulf, there was talk that the warning was delayed by 1-2 minutes.

            And here is the rocket landing in warning zone It doesn't always happen because it's a zone warnings It is given before the trajectory calculation begins, but it is possible that there will be no arrival on Israeli territory at all; the missile may fall before reaching it, and this happens often, or it will be destroyed far from Israeli territory.

                Today, missile launches are monitored comprehensively. The United States and Israel have created a multi-level system for observing the sky day and night. This system uses satellites in space, ground-based radars, ships at sea and aircraft in the air, all of which form a single system. Every ballistic missile launch from Iran towards Israel is detected.
                There was no rocket landing for 38 days. from Iran without early warning

                    In most cases, these missiles are launched from a distance of 20-40 km, so there is no no possibility of early warning, that preliminary preliminary about which I wrote from Iran The time of hitting the target from the moment of launch is from 0 seconds to 30 seconds. These are the missiles that the Iron Dome detects; at the moment of detection, it has already calculated the ballistic trajectory and turned on alarm there is no prior warning When the alarm goes off, information about the area in which it will fall is received. Time to enter a shelter is extremely limited, and people are practically living in shelters. This also applies to areas adjacent to the Gaza Strip and Lebanon and the launch of rockets from these territories.

All these explanations are completely irrelevant to the original question, and your "I'm choking on it" is a perfect example of this phenomenon. Let's leave it at that. Or let me explain. Why can't you say something simple? That the population doesn't and can't have real data on the effectiveness of air defenses (that same percentage of missiles shot down). And you trust official data. Instead, you dump out a bunch of information you've gleaned from open sources. But it's not verifiable. I'm not interested in delving further. Thanks again.

It's impossible to hide a missile launch because it will fall and journalists will spin it. There's no warning, but the missile is there. Likewise, it's impossible to say we shot down a missile and it vanished. It's impossible to hide the death of a soldier because they'll conduct an identification, and the media will report it. Understand that in Israel, it's impossible to hide anything. Ten years ago, a friend of Netanyahu's brought him expensive cigars and his wife French champagne.

              That occurred to me too. But I don't know how integrated these systems were into Israel's air and missile defense system. So I won't jump to conclusions. In fact, for some reason, my counterpart thinks that detecting missile launches is a simple task. Which is strange to me. It only looks good in movies, how satellites always see everything and transmit engine emissions online to the ground, and over-the-horizon radars are always working. But yes, I understand, as I said, this is written by Israeli citizens for whom their country is the best and it couldn't be any other way. A 50 percent interception rate is simply a lie for them, by default.

                  That wasn't a joke. It was a demonstration of how I see your statement, and that none of this is new. By the way, I found an interesting article about how the warning system works in Israel. It included statistics from the past. And it confirmed my opinion that the number of warnings doesn't equal the number of missile launches. First, warnings are triggered by zones. And often, several zones can respond at once. The number of false alarms is three times as high. Here's the article: https://www.nzz.ch/english/the-cost-of-israels-high-tech-rocket-defense-system-ld.1863524

                    2023-24 isn't even funny. We're talking about Iranian ballistics, where the relevant data is from June 25th or today.
                    False alarms are not failures to fire during firing.
                    The system is designed to save, not to satisfy statistics.
                    The number of received preliminary warnings is always higher than the number of orders to enter the shelter (due to the calculation of the trajectory and clarification of the impact area); the siren sounds in the areas of the expected impact of both the missile and debris, including anti-missiles.

            And the Iranians bombed everything a hundred times.
            Argument - they wrote - is not an argument.
            There are no sirens during rocket attacks! The siren warns of the need to enter a shelter; it usually sounds 4-8 minutes before a potential breach or shrapnel fall. Therefore, by this time, everyone is in shelters, and casualties are minimal.

              AlexZN, unless a missile hits the shelter. How many times has that happened?
              But what's strange is that there are tons of videos of Iranian missiles and cluster submunitions falling, while cars and pedestrians are driving around. I remember a missile hitting a large building, the entire thing started to tilt, and a bunch of people ran out of the neighboring high-rise. So, your words are good for those who don't watch anything themselves. But those who do watch have legitimate questions.

                There's movement during an attack, but it's sporadic. Cars stop, and drivers lie down on the ground. People certainly aren't out and about. Cluster rockets cover a larger area but cause less damage. In B'Shemesh, nine people were killed in a shelter after a direct hit from a 500-kilogram missile, even though the doors were open.
                I have public shelters around me that are buried 7 meters deep and can withstand 500 kg.
                If you have any questions, ask them, but don't speculate. I'm not going to lie to you, and why would I?
                To date, 25 people have died directly as a result of missile strikes.

                No one ever traded in the temple.
                As a educational program.
                In front of the temple sat money changers, exchanging various coins from across the ecumene for sacrificial coins. Every Jew was required to donate to the temple. There were also people selling sacrificial animals, usually doves, which were burned. This is where the word columbarium comes from (columbus means dove).
                Yeshua believed that this was wrong and started a pogrom, for which he was taken to the police station.
                Have you ever been to an Orthodox church? Didn't you notice the stall on the right where they sell... definitely not Jews.

                  Don't take everything so literally.)) When I said that not all Jews trade in the Temple, I was talking more about the soul, and about how not all Jews are like Netanyahu. And no Zionism can justify what was done in Iran. Especially considering what Cyrus did for the Jewish people. To paraphrase Bulgakov, ingratitude is the worst of vices.))
                  As for educational programs, the canonical book for a Christian is the Gospel.
                  And this is what John says.

                  Jesus came to Jerusalem and found those selling oxen, sheep, and doves in the temple, with the money changers sitting there. And he made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple, the sheep and the oxen with him. He also scattered the money changers' money and overturned their tables. And he said to those selling doves, "Take these things away from here, and do not make my Father's house an house of merchandise" (John 2:13–16).

                  Moreover, the Orthodox icon "The Expulsion of the Moneychangers from the Temple" depicts Jesus driving them out. The same can be said of Rembrandt's painting of the same name, which hangs in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.
                  As for trade in Orthodox churches, who am I to condemn it? Although, it doesn't happen everywhere; sometimes candles, church literature, and icons are sold in church shops outside the church. For me, as a Christian, it's more important that I can be with God in the church and be undisturbed. I prefer that than spending time at the Western Wall, not seeing anyone selling anything because Titus and Vespasian destroyed the Second Temple, and then calmly attacking a school filled with Iranian children. A worthy continuation of prayer.

                  Are you kidding, or are you that ignorant of the subject? A Jew and a Jew are far from the same thing. Besides Jews, there have been and are other peoples in the world who practice Judaism. Off the top of my head, I can think of Arabs, Khazars, Berbers, and Ethiopians. Meanwhile, there are plenty of Jews who don't practice Judaism, atheists, and converts.

                  According to statistics, 80% of Jews in the 17th and 18th centuries lived in Eastern Europe, and their descendants are considered Ashkenazi. According to genetic studies of the mitochondrial DNA of Ashkenazi Jews, who make up the majority of the modern Jewish population, 60-80% are direct descendants of just four women from the early Middle Ages, somewhere in Northern Italy. They have a wide range of Y-haplogroups, indicating different ancestry in the male line.
                  Now to the question of Yeshua. According to the Bible, his mother is a descendant of David, and his father is clearly not Joseph. In short, most modern Jews are not blood related to Yeshua; they are a different people, formed 500-600 years after the death of Christ, and the only things they share in common are their faith and some traditions.

          You're right, he forbade anyone from thinking about it because he was afraid the Mossad would read his thoughts. But the Mossad was wrong about the warehouse where the nuclear weapons development documentation was stored.
          On January 31, 2018, fewer than two dozen Mossad agents infiltrated a secret warehouse in the Kahrizak district in southern Tehran (the capital of Iran) and stole 100,000 documents, including paper records and computer files, documenting work on nuclear weapons under Iran's AMAD project between 1999 and 2015. The documents were part of Iran's secret nuclear archive and contained information about years of work on atomic weapons, warhead designs and production plans.

    No, it's not a secret, but lieYes, when a missile or parts of a downed missile fall, the impact location is not reported for one or two hours, to prevent another missile from being launched at the same coordinates. After an hour or two, all the details are revealed. Yes, the consequences for Israel were severe: 29 people were killed, all civilians who, for one reason or another, were not in a protected area.

                    Well, let's start with the fact that hypersonic weapons were developed for the SBC munition. Delivering them to their destination is the primary purpose of hypersonic weapons. Otherwise, yes, the same 400-450 kg of TNT equivalent. But the dagger played its role. Firstly, given the speed of hypersonic weapons, intercepting them is much more difficult, and secondly, they will certainly be more accurate than an aerial bomb with a UMPK. Especially considering that the aerial bomb still needs to be delivered to its destination, which, given a reasonable enemy air defense system, could leave you with a significantly reduced air force.

The calculated effectiveness of chemical weapons was higher. You can hide from nuclear weapons in bomb shelters, in the same caves carved into the Iranian rock, and given Iran's size, you can't destroy Israel with its entire potential. Yes, damage will be done. Yes, many Iranians will die. But all of Iran won't die out. But with regard to Israel, all moral barriers will immediately fall.

                    Well, wars with nuclear powers have been commonplace. The Central Military District is a good example. Or the US war against Vietnam. My point is different. In human history, there has only been one use of nuclear weapons. And it was used by those who talk the most about freedom, human rights, and humanism. In other words, they're the ones who sell things in the Temple. Japan couldn't respond back then. Now, Iran can. By using nuclear weapons against Iran, Israel would be putting itself outside any moral or international laws. And any response from Iran, including WMD, would be perceived as adequate.
                    Regarding the idea that a strike on another country's military installations is not an act of terrorism, let me remind you that in 1945, the US dropped atomic bombs on Japan, killing approximately 60,000 people instantly, and another 140,000 within a year from the effects of radioactive contamination, penetrating radiation, and so on. Consider the enormous number of cancer cases in the descendants of those exposed to radioactive contamination. Consider also the number of disabled people as a result of the explosion.
                    The same applies to a possible nuclear strike on Iran. There would certainly be a high death toll from radioactive contamination. Some areas of Iran would become uninhabitable. And what if a military facility were located near a city? Judging by what you're doing in Gaza, that's unlikely to stop it. Although I agree with you—it wouldn't be an act of terrorism. If only because a simple terrorist wouldn't be able to kill as many people as the use of nuclear weapons and its consequences would kill. That's called state terrorism.
                    But on the other hand, I'm sure you personally would be understanding if, suddenly, a Sarmatian were to arrive in the promised land. As they say, nothing personal—just the destruction of a military facility.

                Do you know how Israel became a nuclear power?

                To give Israel nuclear weapons, we had to sell kidnapped black babies to Jewish families from Yemen who immigrated to the United States, where they were subjected to medical experiments. Now Israel has enough nuclear power to destroy the entire world in a minute.
                Yehuda Mizrahi, a fanatical rabbi, recounts how Zionists kidnapped thousands of Yemenite Jewish babies since the early 1950s as part of a nuclear weapons deal with the US, and boasts of the results of the deal.
                Few people know that thousands of newborns and children of Yemeni immigrants in Israel disappeared shortly after birth during the first years of the Zionist invasion of Palestine.
                This mystery has become known as the "Yemeni children's case."
                Although more than 1000 cases have been officially documented, some estimates put the number of missing people as high as 4500.

          As much as you might like to deny it, fascism has nothing to do with Russia. Wikipedia, for obvious reasons, omits the key question in identifying fascism—the national question. Fascism exalts a particular nation at the expense of others. But at this stage, "untermenschen" are merely deprived of their rights and subjected to various kinds of persecution. Nazism goes further. It engages in the physical extermination of "subhumans." And if the President of a country declares, "I am a Chechen, I am a Jew, I am a Russian," the cornerstone of the entire structure falls away.

            I don't want to get into a dangerous discussion here, but I'd like to focus on actions, not words. Russia fits all the main definitions of fascism, to varying degrees. We shouldn't blur the lines between fascism, Nazism, and nationalism.

              The rest of it doesn't fit either. Just recently, ECHO Moskvy and various Dozhdy stations were broadcasting things that would have carried real criminal charges in the States. And we weren't the first to shut down media outlets, like RT, for our citizens.

            Where did your central question go?

            corporatism in the economy, a rigid social hierarchy, violent suppression of opposition and individual freedoms, as well as the desire to mobilize society and total control over society; and in some cases, a policy of genocide

              I will repeat once again - the key question is whether there is fascism or Nazism in a national state.
              As for the rest.

              violent suppression of opposition and individual freedoms,
               
              - On this issue, I will say this: nowhere has the opposition felt so at ease as in the Russian Federation.
              Let me remind you of Navalny's speeches, and, once again, of Echo of Moscow and Silver Rain. In the US, for what they said, someone would have been facing prison time. Let me remind you that the law on foreign agents in Russia was adopted relatively recently, and even then, in a lenient form. In the US, it has been in effect for several decades. And, unlike in Russia, a foreign agent there could very well end up behind bars, not just for criminal charges, but for activities against the state.
              Just remember how demonstrations are suppressed by force—remember what happened with the Yellow Vests in France or in the United States. Remember the story of Lloyd, how the police detained him. Remember that there are about 4 million prisoners in the United States (every fifth prisoner in the world is American). Remember that Leonard Peltier, a leader of Native American rights activists since the 70s, is still in prison, even though it was proven in court that the bullet fired at the FBI agents didn't match the caliber of his gun. So, in terms of "suppression," Russia doesn't even come close to the "fighters for humanism and beacons of democracy."
              "Total control over society; and in some cases, a policy of genocide" – and you're going to talk about genocide in Russia? It's ridiculous. Especially when you remember that not a single nation that was part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, then the Empire, disappeared from the earth. Moreover, the nobility of these included peoples seamlessly integrated into Russia's political elite. The Arakchevs, Kurakins, Sheremetyevs, Apraksins, Bagrations, Barclays, Yusupovs, Aksakovs, and countless others became the richest families in the Russian Empire and wielded colossal political influence. Russia itself began with Rurik, Catherine II (née Princess of Anchelt-Zerbst) was on the throne, and Stalin led the USSR.
              Now let's recall the fate of America's indigenous populations. Where are the Hurons, Aztecs, and Mayans? Where are the Sioux and Delawares? How many Native Americans reached the heights of power in America in the 18th and 19th centuries? Were there many wealthy African Americans?
              I can remind you how the English colonizers behaved in India. I can remind you how many slaves they brought from Africa.
              Ivan the Terrible is considered a tyrant? I was recently at the museum in the Alexandrovskaya Sloboda. So, in the last years of his life, Ivan the Terrible prayed for everyone he had a hand in the deaths of. In total, about 3000 names are listed in the book of remembrance. Plus the "subjugation" of Novgorod, where about 5000 died. But his contemporary, Elizabeth I of England, hanged 80,000 peasants during the enclosure policy alone. And she was one of the founders of "English democracy." And Ivan the Terrible is a tyrant. Maybe we should remember the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre? And how many lives did that alone cost France?
              And genocide did occur, including against the Russian people. It's enough to recall the Great Patriotic War and the fact that 29 million Soviet citizens died in it. And 6 million Jews perished during the Holocaust. And yet, this is all they talk about, "forgetting" that they were by no means the people who suffered most from Nazism.
              So if you want to study fascism and Nazism, you should head straight to Europe, where they actually originated. And continue to thrive. It's enough to recall the IOC's stance on Russian athletes, who were banned from all competitions, contrary to the Olympic Charter. Purely on national grounds. The question is different. Well, if you're banning Russia from competitions, why aren't the US and Israel banned for Iran?

                Is WhatsApp being blocked in Russia in 2025?
                Today, April 7, 2026, federal media reported a possible complete blocking of Telegram in Russia as early as April.

                  And isn't it shameful and disgraceful when RT is blocked in both Europe and the US? Besides, blocking both Telegram and WhatsApp is completely justified. I'm testifying now. It was through these messaging apps that there have been several attempts to scam your humble servant. There haven't been any in Makha yet. And Durov himself has been warned several times of what will happen if he continues to violate Russian laws.
                  Namely-
                  1. Censorship Law. The messenger is not registered in the Russian Federation and does not comply with requirements to store user data within the country.
                  2-Law on combating money laundering.
                  Telegram provides financial services, which makes it possible to finance terrorism.
                  Which, by the way, was exactly what happened. Whenever they caught the next relay cabinet detonator, they were inevitably contacted via telegram or WhatsApp with offers to carry out small and even large (remember Vladlen Tatarsky) terrorist attacks for a cash reward.
                  3. Securities Market Law. Telegram does not comply with Russian securities market laws and is not licensed by the mega-regulator.
                  So the issue at hand here isn't even the closure of Telegram, but rather the in absentia prosecution of Durov for complicity in terrorism.

                  And everyone remembers how his performances ended.

                  - They remember. He was imprisoned in the Kirovles case. For theft. I also remember how he behaved towards a WWII veteran in court. If I were a judge, I would have given him an extra five years for that.

                  This is the one that was dispersed on March 3, 2022.

                  - They dispersed it and did the right thing.
                  What was said there deserves criminal punishment. For example, the fact that people in Leningrad were dying of hunger was our own fault. We should have simply surrendered the city to the Germans, and none of this would have happened. But for some reason, the same ECHO station didn't mention what Adolf Aloizych was planning to do to Moscow and Leningrad.
                  Under the terms of the SVO, ONLY the state determines which media outlets are allowed to operate and which are not. And we operate in much the same way as Europe and the US.

                  In 1977, Leonard Peltier was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams on June 26, 1975.

                  You see, here you immediately cite the court ruling, claiming it was legal and there's no point in challenging it. Why then don't you recognize the Russian court's ruling against Navalny in the Kirovles case as legal? Or is it, as usual, something else entirely?

    The scariest thing is that no one knows for sure whether Iran has a nuclear bomb or not. What have they managed to do in their dungeons? Iranian physicists are brilliant, and their engineers, judging by their drones and missiles, are also capable.

    According to the retired colonel, Trump still has a chance to avoid becoming embroiled in a story where his name will be associated with the bloodiest names of war criminals – to declare victory and leave the Persian Gulf.

    "Let Iran and Israel end the war themselves," says Lawrence Wilkerson. "This is definitely not our war. And that's what most Americans think... And let the Israelis deal with Netanyahu, who is facing criminal charges."

    Moscow has reportedly officially deployed six submarines, including two nuclear-powered, to the Strait of Hormuz for a covert mission to protect Iranian infrastructure. Their mission is to prevent the US and Israel from freely approaching Iran's shores or breaching the blockade.
