I think heads are rolling because it was completely ineffective other than killing that Bedouin child.
On edit: and one might have struck the Dome of the Rock. Wouldnt that have been interesting.

(11,548 posts)they have a shield that goes over the city that protects them from bombs. Its called the Iron Dome and I read its about 90% effective. She feels safe because she lives in apartment building across the street from the main political building in town, kind of like our white house.
Don't know how she does it, I would still be scared.

(25,849 posts)With the exception of October 7th, it has kept them safe. For four months, Hamas launched rockets from Gaza every single day. It has slowed down to just once a week now. However, Hezbollah on the north, now launches them every day. A normal day for Israel is about 10 per day.

(6,416 posts)...I read they did manage to hit an air base. But no casualties. Early intelligence suggests they only went after military targets, casualties and damage are from falling debris. Leaving the door open for Israel to walk things back. But with Bibi....who knows what that narcissistic asshole will do.
