Escalation Ladder

Last night, Israel and her allies intercepted 99 percent of all hardware launched at Israel. The damage in Israel was relatively minor. It includes one ten-year-old killed, another young one in intensive care, and six more who were moderate to light injuries. All were Bedouins in the south. So ironically, Iran hit fellow Muslims.

Damage to the two military bases was very minor. The Russians posted a satélite photo of the Nevatim Air Force base. The Iranians managed to get a rocket through that hit the taxiway. The IDF also had a video of F-35 fighters coming home, and the taxiway has been fixed.

This brings me to the escalation ladder and the nature of the region. First, the statement of Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant:

Defense Minister Galant at the end of a situation assessment: “The whole world saw tonight who Iran is, the containment of the attack was impressive and resulted in few injuries — alert and prepared for any scenario”

Defense Minister Yoav Galant said this morning at the end of a situation assessment with the senior members of the defense establishment:

“I have now finished cutting the situation with the top of the IDF. The State of Israel faced an attack tonight by hundreds of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, the IDF stopped the attack in an impressive manner.’
