The hi-tech missile and anti-missile war that Israel and Iran are fighting in is truly spectacular. It is not just because the light show over the skies of Israel is truly glistening despite being frightening. But it is because the decades of research and buildup of weapons are now bringing the results home for millions of residents in Israel.
Plain and simple, Israel’s scientists and hi-tech engineers coupled with some brave and skilled air force personnel are winning the war against Iran – big time. The bravery of the Air Force pilots may not rival those of the British Air Force in WWII. The hi-tech engineers working in Israel’s basements of the Army may not be in much physical danger at all. But, they are absolutely succeeding in saving the lives of tens of thousands of Jews in Israel.
Iran has been building up their terrorist infrastructure for decades — In Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen. Their goal to stranglehold Israel and cause Israel to bleed on a massive scale was 100% clear. They never hid their intentions. But Netanyahu and the rest of Israel always knew that at some point, Israel would have to confront the threats and the cost would be terrible. Nobody thought that the threats from Iran and from Hizbullah would be eradicated so swiftly and effectively.
Oh yes, and let’s not forget the secret service, the Mossad, and the Military Intelligence. One cannot only criticize their terrible leadership on October 7th yet overlook the amazing accomplishments of these organizations in Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. Israel is now poised to have a decade or decades of relative calm due to the sudden deterioration of it’s main enemies in the last couple of years – much of it due to hi-tech prowess and developments that took years of painstaking effort to stay ahead in the battle of the skies.
We are truly living in unbelievable times.
