As Iran tests missile defense capabilities with a constant barrage, interceptor stockpiles are a pivotal variable in the war. An Israeli official denies the shortage.

    I know a lot of people have absolutely no sympathy for Israel and that’s understandable. But it’s the Israeli government that’s fighting the war and the Israeli society that’s going to suffer under a lack of interceptors.
    Don’t fall for the war mongering and conflate any country’s regime with it’s people. The people of Israel don’t deserve to be bombed just like the people of Iran.

    EDIT: What’s with the downvotes? I’m basically saying that there is no reason to be happy about bombing Israeli (mostly Jewish) citizen. Don’t you agree?

      A vast majority of people in Israel support the policies of the country. They supported leveling Palestine. They support attacking Lebanon. They support bombing Iran.

      They’re just mad that Iran made their munitions to counter against their iron dome and their air defenses.

        A majority, but not all Israelis. And even if that doesn’t justify cheering about civilians being bombed.

          Who’s cheering? I see people not caring that the shoe is on the other foot, and the people who were having rooftop parties to watch Gaza get destroyed are now on the other end of that equation.
