Saw one report that the “iron dome” missiles run about $85,000 each, and for each unguided rocket fired, they launch four of these interceptors, to specifically take down ONLY those which appear to be headed for populated areas. That’s the expense, and letting those that are going to land in empty fields go by, makes sense.
Now, if they’d stop launching highly accurate attacks from F-16s at Gaza, specifically targeting HOMES of “Hamas leaders”, and blowing up whole neighborhoods, because even those efforts often miss the intended target, in civilian areas, Israel might be a little less offensive with THEIR “offensive defense”?
And now some idiot in Ukraine apparently thinks he should be the commander of the U.S. S. Vincennes?
^Bull! Harley. YOU need to listen to some Israelis NOT just touting that phony Likud/AIPAC line of B.S.. Those kids on the beach yesterday just missed the phone call, right??

Israel uses weapons to defend citizens. Hamas uses citizens to defend weapons. News story of rockets in UN sponsored school.
