IndustryStandard[Video] Missiles barrage hits Tel Aviv
Woah, that’s nuts. I feel like most missiles don’t reach target in Israel. Maybe that’s cause most are aimed at Jerusalem and the Iron Dome though?
Avid AmoebaI don’t know if anyone has any real information but I’d think Iran would be shooting air bases and such. Targets that hurt Israel’s ability to hurt Iran. Israel’s command probably cares less about a residential building (full of people or empty) than a hangar with F35s.
小莱卡israel has military infrastructure in the middle of residential areas.
Iran has spent decades building an arsenal of cheap drones that aren’t really designed to hit targets, they are designed to financially cripple Israel by expending expensive iron dome charges.
humble_boatsmanAnd the numbers are staggering. I forget exactly but those early retaliations for assassination last year that where laughed at expended something like 100s of millions of dollars.
From I’ve seen they certainly used that initially with mostly older, cheaper, and slower drones in the initial waves intentionally to bleed out the iron dome but have been changing their strategy as the “Iron Dome” is weakened and/or gaps are discovered.
With each wave they adjust their strategy. Interspersing more Hypersonics and layering the drones in different patterns/locations to more readily distract/avoid the iron dome.
From estimated ratios of 9 impacts out of/150 launched in the first few waves vs 9/50 in the more recent waves.
Though obviously Israel hides the damage/strikes through media blackouts on military sites so we can’t know for sure how accurate these estimates are and we mainly only get reporting on impacts in Tel-Aviv or other militarized “civilian” zones.
Oh for sure, I’m just saying they don’t even need to hit any targets and they’d still be winning long term. They are capable of much more, and Israel can’t fight Iran without US.
Satanyahu is betting on forcing Trump to agree to war with Iran on his watch. Avoiding that is thankfully one of Trump’s main priorities, hopefully they don’t succeed in changing his calculus on it.
And they aren’t able to and won’t be able to maintain media blackout much longer, Iran has stated that they will keep going and will go harder, and we’ve already seen some seriously damaged neighborhoods. As long as Iran keeps it reasonable (and what is reasonable has changed tremendously in the last two years of genocide and western media going hard to defend and justify Israeli war crimes), I think Trump can tolerate way more destruction of Tel Aviv than netanyahu thought he would.
grrgyleI feel like attacking civilians also helps Israel’s propaganda while not hurting it’s capacity to continue escalating.
At this point who care. Many Western and arab countries protect israel regardless
Iran are definitely targeting air bases and other militarized targets which are regions Israel has a media blackout on so we don’t hear about them as much and only hear about impacts in Tel-Aviv which is a militarized “civilian” zone (human shields was always projection of their own policies).
geneva_convenienceSince Israel bombed the Iranian oil refinery and airport, Iran has started targeting Israeli power plants, ports and other infrastructure.
The slower ones frequently get intercepted, but every time I see one land it is those hypersonic fast ones.
I doubt Iran has any real hypersonic missiles, these are probably just balistic missiles.
You can definitely see a difference in speed between the missiles. Occasionally a slower missile lands as well.
I think the difference in speed in the video is just perspective + distance, plust Iran has many different types of balistic missiles. I mean, technically speaking many balistic missiles do go at hypersonic speeds, but that’s not what people mean when they say hypersonic missile, they refer to missiles that fly very low at hypersonic speed and can maneuver before hitting their target. You can clearly see the balistic trajectory of these missiles.
I’m no expert, but usually when missiles “go ballistic” their engines turn off and they have limited maneuvering capability at the end of their flight.
This one looks like it had engines on all the way to the target, which is a fairly newer class of design.
I mean I’m no expert either but you can see this characteristic burning on most ICBM videos, it’s just the reentry vehicle reaching insane temperatures.

Is this the strike from Friday or a new one?
That’s the Friday one.
According to the people who posted it, it is from today. It is certainly not the same barrage as we saw Friday, but it could be another barrage which was on Friday. Nothing is entirely certain right now, but I think it is from today.
KokeshInsert “this one sparks joy” meme?
This is fucked up. Israeli citizens do not have to die because of what the government did.
Isreali citizens are the reason why the government did what it did.
We need instances with less censorship.
It said “Israeli citizens are the reason the government did what it did”
Perhaps you have missed the part where Israeli citizens have been openly saying that we need to wipe Iran, Palestine and multiple other countries off from the world map.
They want genocide; they will get some retaliation from who they are attacking. FAFO

Not like Iranian and Palestinian people haven’t said anything similar. This issue is not black and white. There’s a hundred of different shades of piss and shit. Everyone is right from their standpoint and everyone is wrong from other’s standpoint.
I have much less of a problem with natives saying they should exterminate colonialists than I do the other way around.
Yes they do.
If they don’t want to live with the consequence of being in one of the most contested places on earth, they can always leave.
It’s way easier for Israelis to relocate because of how much money they have. They just choose not to and deserve all of the consequences that go along with that.
This is fucked up. Israeli citizens do not have to die because of what the government did.
If Israel is allowed to raze Palestine, then nobody should take issue with Iran defending itself.
Israel isn’t justified for anything.
War is never justified, the political leaders are on their couches watching tvs playing with the lives of their people
TacoButtPlugThere’s a telegram channel with 150,000 Israeli citizens who post memes of them pissing on dead Palestinians. Fuck them kids.
PsythikThe majority of these citizens support the genocide.
Do they deserve to die? Of course not. But do I feel bad about them getting a little taste of karma? Of course not.
kittenzrulz123Zionist “civillians” dont need to die because of the actions of their government, they need to die because they overwhelmingly support the actions of said government
Goldmage263I wish there was an actionable alternative.
Shouldn’t have become settler colonialists then
Imagine 20+ months of this without bomb shelters with minimum to no food and with constant shelling and moving. Israel has made bombings and terrorism become normal for people in yemen, lebanon, syria and Iraq. Israel has made the lives of millions unsafe in the middleeast.
Germany, UK you created Israel government and the US enabled its colonization and genocide since day 1. Europe should take them back or stop them.
In 2025, the humans of the world nations still compete in every scientific advancement known to mankind, and mine every precious and rare material source, and employ every advancement and investment in programming, AI, engineering and design on the planet for intimidation and colonization launching metals into each other bodies, polluting and destroying the planet climate and resources, spreading pain and murder to each other for selfish gain. Now those maniacs are threatening with nuclear missiles. People who do everything in their power and utilize everything in the possession to bring humanity and the world down.
All because they want few Zionists to rule in aparthied and colonization and not give democracy to whom they see as inferior races of other humans instead of working and lifting each other. The world nations should stop this instead of heading toward WWIII as if humans cant learn history.
Well said mate.
The world nations should stop this instead of heading toward WWIII as if humans cant learn history.
That’s the most telling thing furute generations will look back upon this politicians that enabled such violence just to make some extra buck or a favor? Q
It’s as if people who follow beliefs from the stone age didn’t have a place in the modern world!
heavybootsI’d have ever so much more sympathy if they hadn’t just spent over a year genociding Palestine…
It’s wild hearing Americans who went on a 20 year genocidal way because they were attacked at home, cheering on others being attacked at home. Your government fucked by country and people, do I get to blow up your family and be cheered?
I mean, both the United States and Israel were attacked because of Israel.
Israel deserves the blame because Israel is the problem.
If they don’t like it, they can always leave. That would make the world a better place.
Americans are blood thirsty war hawks. You guys LOVE the idea of bombing someone you don’t like. Even the American left is like this now. So long as it’s not your country being bombed and getting their just desserts for al their genocide, you love war. But anyone attacks you guys for your centuries of atrocities and suddenly it’s WAR WAR WAR
Well, yeah.
Supporting Israel is great for the MIC.
(I hope I don’t have to say how I’m not one of the bloodthirsty Americans you’re referring to)
DessalinesYou seem to not be aware that Israel is another settler-colonial project, based on indigenous eviction and genocide, just like the US, Canada, Australia, etc.
I suggest watching these two vids :
Empire Files: How Palestine Became Colonized
The US also deserves blame, given the degree they support Israel
You assume I was for the 20 year genocidal war? Why? IMHO it was a huge fucking mistake too.
Y’all coming to my continent was a mistake too
I didn’t go on shit and I don’t support US imperialist actions.
We were attacked at home because of previous imperialist actions, and we would have continued said imperialism whether attacked or not, that was a convenient excuse.
I would understand people cheering and I would direct my anger to the people who caused the retaliation to happen, my own government.
why are you defending America destroying your country and Israel though? You make no sense.
I agree with all of it i just think you Americans need to get out of the way and stop trying to lead the charge, because you guys are toxic and taint the movement with your hypocrisy and extremist attitudes.
You al benefit from your country’s imperialism but you all dodge responsibility and say it wasnt you
I’m willing to be one counterexample in the sea. I am absolutely benefiting from both past American imperialism and the current sales of arms that keeps allowing more atrocities. I used to feel guilt about it, but that didn’t solve anything; neither did staying silent. If all the other loud, noisy, opinionated people in my country can’t keep their mouths shut, I view it as a minor responsibility to at least make them use critical thinking (if possible). I’m saving your comment to show people irl. Hope you stay safe.
Is this some weird psychology trick? Its too incomprehensible to work on me
Why would you have sympathy for Israel attacking without provocation a state that turned out to be stronger than they thought?
You know, the reason we have sympathy for Palestinian civilians is because they’re not responsible for the actions of Hamas on Oct 7, even if many of them were brainwashed to be happy about the massacre. Please apply the same logic to sympathizing with civilians who are not responsible for Likud’s actions, a large proportion of whom have also been protesting against the party in the past year.
The current Israeli administration is ruthless and bloodthirsty and it’s diminishing the should of it’s people. That being said, I don’t think any major power in the world, including China and Russia are sad to see Iran’s nuclear program get set back.
We support Hamas, and we support its brave fight against the colonialism, we feel bad about them because we support the colonized against the colonizer, now gtfo
I am staunchly anti-colonization and support resistance against oppression. I also believe there are people who are innocent and who have no choice in where they’re born or where their parents move them to, who generally go about life fairly normally with all the complexity (and tacit complicity) human life and circumstance brings–civilians. I do not support what Hamas did on Oct 7 and I certainly don’t support what the IDF has done in Gaza over the last year or the ongoing settlement in the West Bank. You and I live on the same planet and I will love your right to life always, but I will not gtfo just because I disagree with unfettered self-righteous bloodlust.
I fully support a million oct.7
I know you do.
