Might i remind everyone that Israel didn't start this? Hamas poked a bear that was quite happy being left alone, and now hamas has s**t the bed with all its leaders leaving the gaza strip and leaving the few extremists too it. Iran then launched a missile strike and decided to involve itself for no reason whatsoever, again they received a retaliatory strike, this time, this isn't on Israel.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View Post
You can't launch full scale attacks on a country or people and expect no repercussions, that's just not how things work.Last edited by fishbowlhead; 21-04-2024, 09:39.Comment

Didn't Iran fire the missles strike because the IDF fired a few weeks before into Iran to kill some Hamas leaders?
Edit - Checked, it was Israel firing into Syria killing two Iranian Generals that is supposed to be the lead in to the expansion of attacks. Apparently the IDF haven't commented, which given that and the most recent attack makes it pretty obvious.Last edited by Neon Ignition; 20-04-2024, 13:19.Comment
