It's been what, nearly 4 years since the UN embargo on the country w/r/t poo poo like weaponry ended, right? But I don't believe they've done anything like approach China or Russia for new planes. Maybe they're cooking up their own homegrown stuff like a lot of other previously beholden nations were and just not trumpeting it everywhere? :iiam:

They're getting SU-35s, probably in exchange for drones. It's a 4.5 generation air superiority fighter.

Yeah, just looked it up. In the Western world I've more often seen the surname spelled "Weill" or something similar, but it's pronounced the same - see composer Kurt Weill.

If you make aliyah to Israel I guess you're expected to take on the worst name that immediately comes to mind

I'm interested in if there's any serious cultural/historical origin behind the goofier chosen names or if its as simple as an American who owns 3 houses in Kansas choosing the name Swanson Fergalicious

What are you talking about, they are always very specific about when they're going to do something. They wait for the absolute worst time (for them specifically) then do it in the worst way. It's an extremely reliable system.

Haaretz: Sensitive data breach in Israel

Haaretz newspaper:

International hackers have created a website to post leaks they obtained from hacking sensitive data in Israel.

The hackers posted thousands of documents they said they had obtained after hacking Defense Department systems.

The hackers managed to hack into systems linked to Israel’s Justice Ministry and Dimona’s nuclear research facility.

Israel crying that hamas knows theyre winning

====


Israeli source: The longer the conflict, the harder Hamas becomes

CNN, an Israeli source familiar with the negotiations:

Hamas believes it is winning because its definition of success is survival and has achieved it so far.

The longer the conflict, the more harder Hamas becomes, not the other way around.

Looks like both Irani/Iraqi airspaces are open - my friend in <budget airline> says commercial flights are a go, so insh'Allah I'll be in Najaf this time Thursday, and in Mashhad at the end of this month.

quote:

‘Life goes on as usual’ in Iran after Israel attack
Dorsa Jabbari
Reporting from Tehran, Iran

Ordinary Iranians are not really taking any of Israel’s threats very seriously.

People I’ve been speaking to over the past 24 hours say Israel has been threatening Iran for decades and they don’t actually believe a strike is imminent on any part of the country that would affect the general population.

There has been no guidance issued by the authorities in Iran for the public. Life goes on as usual. Schools have been open throughout the week. The only disruption we saw was the closure of the international and domestic airport in the capital for a 24-hour period when Iran carried out its Operation True Promise on Sunday.

Iranians are not that concerned about an Israeli attack. What they are worried about is the state of the country’s economy, which continues to deteriorate as a result of the threats.

Ok, when I said the IRGC pulled its punches with its airstrikes, apparently I was almost comically underselling things.

Every ballistic missile that landed at Nevatim and Ramon airbase hit their intended target (by the looks of it, head-on).

But, for “some reason”, they evidently carefully avoided hitting obviously high-priority targets (such as the 50 odd hardened shelters and ammunition revetments) and C4ISR structures.

Of the confirmed hits, the IRGC cratered:
1x Guard Tower
2x ground vehicle repair depots
1x transportation aircraft maintenance facility (probably where the one C-130 was dinged up)

Oh, and they dropped a ballistic missile on top of the base’s officer’s swimming pool/rec center. You can see screenshots close-ups of what was hit prior to the attack via google maps attached here.

The Mayor of Sderot is indirectly telling Israel that they will never return to their stupid little town

======


‎Sderot Mayor: The return of residents is linked to the invasion of Rafah‎
‎The mayor of Sderot told Israel Today that anyone who thinks that the town's residents will return without the Israeli army entering Rafah and occupying its land is very mistaken.‎

‎Yesterday, the Israel Broadcasting Corporation said Prime Minister ‎‎Benjamin Netanyahu‎‎ had decided to postpone a scheduled date for a ground operation and invasion of ‎‎Rafah‎‎ in the southern ‎‎Gaza Strip‎‎.‎

‎Israel's Channel 12 reported that the date had been postponed at this stage, and that military censorship did not allow further details to be published.‎

Also the british airline 'Easy Jet' is cancelling all flights to Israel over the next six months

This way they will save lives, because the less easy jet planes are in the air the less crashes will happen.

Also really worryingly for the Israelis alot of airlines that cancelled flights are not in a rush to resume flights, there is definitely the same effect of companies being afraid to risk their planes the way shipping companies are.
