Wonder if this is a "lucky" hit that got through the Iron Dome/Arrow system or signs that Iran are launching enough to overwhelm the defensive system

Based on the videos, they're launching huge barrages 

And honestly the iron dome has failed so many times in the past, it's nothing new

No, we are saying neither Iran or Israel should be nuclear powers

Is Iran alone in its fight with Israel?  Does Iran have any allies left in the Arab world?

I mean the Iron Dome failing on newer weaponry is why they developed the Arrow system to work in combination with the older Iron Dome.

I have a longtime friend who lives in Jerusalem, we haven't been on speaking terms recently (guess why ) but I can't help but worry for her and her kids, goddamn.

In the Arab world? Nope. China, Russia and North Korea? Yup.

Shias have to religiously follow the Ayatollah in Iran, who are high ranking religious figures like the Pope in Christianity. The issue is the Ayatollahs are part of the Iranian government! So you will see alot of Shias in the Arab world following a foreign government politics.

But Shias are a minority in the Arab world, so its hard for Iran to gain full influence. But they have succeeded in funding militia groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis to take over Arabic countries. And they also succeeded with almost fully controlling the Iraqi and Syrian government (not Syria anymore after Assads fall).

For now, their only ally are the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Iraq.

Side Note: I love Shias, nobody is good or bad in this political game, im just explaining the politics of all of it from the Arab perspective

Israel is at it again. 

This is just going to be back and forth.

Yep, red alert across all of Israel on one of the widely used warning apps. 

Looks like it will be a long night in the middle east.

the system is calculating which of the missiles are most likely to cause the most damage and most casualties and shooting it down, so the missiles that they let fall on tel aviv were the least dangerous, despite the hits.

This war has been long planned by Israel, US and EU, secretly, the sudden support to Israel is not a coincidence. 

Israel has enough weapons and enough defensive aid from the US and the EU.

I knew about the differences between Shia and Sunni, but wasn't sure.  It does appear with Trump's trip to the Middle East and the US's recognizing of Syria that the West has sided with Sunnis.  Or is that a stretch?
