Hundreds of Israeli Air Force platforms simulated multiple airstrikes on long-distance targets far from its borders overnight. The Israeli military says dozens of fighter jets conducted ‘long-range flight, aerial refueling and striking distant targets’ maneuvers over the Mediterranean Sea.
Times of Israel More than 100 aircraft — as well as navy submarines — participated in the drill that spanned some 10,000 kilometers. Earlier this month, The Times of Israel learned that the drill — as part of the military’s major Chariots of Fire exercise — would simulate a widescale strike in Iran, including against its nuclear facilities.
In light of growing uncertainty regarding a return by Iran to the 2015 nuclear deal amid long-stalled negotiations with world powers, the past year has seen the Israel Defense Forces ramp up its efforts to prepare a credible military threat against Tehran’s nuclear facilities.
At the beginning of last year, IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi announced that he had instructed the military to begin drawing up fresh attack plans against Iran. By September, Kohavi said the army had “greatly accelerated” preparations for action against Tehran’s nuclear program.
In addition to having to find ways to strike Iranian facilities that are buried deep underground, requiring specialized munitions and tactics, the IAF will have to deal with increasingly sophisticated Iranian air defenses in order to conduct such a strike. The air force will also have to prepare for an expected retaliation against Israel by Iran and its allies throughout the region.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz said “The IDF is constantly preparing for operations and various campaigns, in various theaters, and will inflict a severe blow on anyone who seeks to threaten the citizens of the State of Israel.”

Good look Israel I hope you will win
Second that !!
Joe Biden and the leftist Democrats have greatly endangered poor little Israel by emboldening and very greatly enriching Muslim maniac Iran.
A real life “Top Gun Maverick” movie playing out before our very eyes. Love it!
technology tenacity and timing , Israel has control of their destiny and the ultimate boost to that end the tip of their spear the F-15E Strike Eagle with deep penetrating bunker busters armed and on the ready launch pad waiting at will … never underestimate , no if but when
If they try to attack you know that the Biden Administration will do everything in its power to stop it. They don’t want their allies in Iran bothered.
The HOLY ONE of Israel, the Guardian of Israel, our Glorious, Majestic Awesome Creator is with you, Israel!
No dark, evil powers on earth or in the universe will ever be able to extinguish the light of reborn Israel. Israel’s light will shine forever and ever!
Mark Twain, Concerning The Jews, Harper’s Magazine, 1899
”…If statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race.
It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky way. properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of.
He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk.
His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers.
He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and had done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it.
“The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away;
the Greek and the Roman followed; and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other people have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished.
The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind.
All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?”
Amen. Jews are God’s chosen people and those grafted in (Christians). Therein lies the reason for their long-time persecution. Others are aware of this at different levels and disagree at different levels, many through Satan’s influence. If you can’t beat them join them! Jesus loves all. John 3:16.
Another reason to love Twain.
The old turban headed pedophiles that rule Iran would love to bomb the crap outta the entire world for allah.
Israel can and should stop them before they have the means of sending this Nuke anywhere and let the world scream at Israel after the fact, just as Pakistan also has enough uranium but not the means to send out a bomb, and India knows this and watches…
islam is a belief of evil, satanic, self righteousness, egotistical, and followed by morons world wide, proving beyond a doubt that there are people who cannot think for themselves and believe what silly old farts in a turban and beard tell them is the word of god…
A whole lotta fools walking around and they are into sniffing rectums five times a day… every day…
Probably the smartest thing they can do.
Smartest thing they can do.
As long as Israel is alive……. we have a chance… The word was written, “God moves in mysterious ways!!!”

I wouldn’t want to be in Israel’s shoes. Tough decisions to make. Surrounded by enemies (Islam).
