Last comment: I think this is the first ballistic missile that was successfully launched into Tel Aviv by anyone.

Shit, they're fucked. I don't even think it was meant to kill anyone. They aimed at an open field allegedly and the entity's own interception missiles hit themselves.

This wasn't a tactical launch, they sent this missile to send a fucking message

Second time they've hit tel Aviv in fact. They used a drone a couple of months ago and took out a fascist on leave from Gaza.

Both times Israel has been hit with a ballistic missile (Iran and this time) they proved to Israel that they can defeat its world-renowned interception systems (backed by American Patriot missiles, no less) with 20-year old Iranian designs.

The added embarrassment both times of ALSO defeating naval detachments from the world's largest ocean-faring empire is going to redefine military doctrines worldwide.

The target was also pretty significant. Hitting a piece of Israeli power infrastructure sends a message that the comfort of the colonisers is contingent on the decisions made in Tehran, Beirut, and Saana; every "Israeli" is now a hostage of the resistance.
