After an Iranian missile attack on the Israeli army’s Command and Intelligence headquarters, known as IDF C4I, along with a military intelligence facility located in the Gav-Yam Technology Park went awry and struck the adjacent Soroka Medical Center in Beer Sheba, things seem to be heating up even more, if that is possible. The National Pulse reports: "Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz likened Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, to Adolf Hitler following a missile strike on Soroka Medical Center in Be’er Sheva, suggesting the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will now move to 'eliminate' the Grand Ayatollah." The article adds:
Iranian missiles also hit areas in Tel Aviv and Holon, resulting in several injuries. However, the targeting of the hospital, a facility serving both Jews and Arabs, was described as a “red line” by Israel’s Health Minister Uriel Busso, who emphasized the importance of preparation in preventing casualties.
Zero Hedge reports that President Trump has already approved plans for a strike on Iran (although he is still giving time for Iran to enter into negotiations). Nevertheless, as the article relates, "[t]he USS Ford Carrier Strike Group is expected to be deployed to Europe next week, near the Middle East, putting a third aircraft carrier in close proximity to the conflict between Israel and Iran, a US official and two other people familiar with the matter said."
Annnnnnnd the bombs dropped.
ReplyDeleteThe big question is...did they work as intended? The satellite images of the sites don't look very encouraging...but then it's hard to know what happened beneath the surface.
