DUH!
Yes I know about the drone strike that took out the commander, and it's not the same one. I did say that it's too early for a link and I only heard in on Al Jazeera as breaking news.
Here you go.
The Israeli local regional council said that three people were wounded in the explosion.
No air raid sirens were heard at the time of the incident.I googled "drones from Lebanon strike Israel" and got 100s of hits for Israel drones take out 2 Hezbollah commanders in Lebanon. Seems the N. Israeli strike got overshadowed.
I did see a Times of Israel story "2 Hezbollah commanders killed in IDF strikes as attack drones injure 3 in north". So the stories seem simultaneous.

Too soon for a link, but I just heard on Al Jazeera that some drones from Lebanon got through israeli air defenses and struck an israeli town.
Seems like it's really kicking off now.
I have a link, but it's the Israeli version, not Al Jazeera version.
In the Israeli version, Israeli drones in Lebanon take out another Brigadier General level terrorist, Ismail Yosef Baz, Field Commander of Hezbollah’s (read Iran) Coastal Sector. Watch!

Searching for your story finds only the Israeli strike. Pull that TV plug!, TBL.

I just watched some other of his Twitter clips. This guy doesn't sound like a Nazi. I mean, if what he says makes him a Nazi then everybody who's against genocide and war is a Nazi. Wait, maybe this is the actual definition for you now?
Sounds very reasonable articulated. Thanks for calling him a 'Nazi', otherwise I wouldn't even have looked.
"Sounds very reasonable articulated." , he said.

It is a bit disingenuous to say I'm using old information, when the WSJ post you just sent was from the day after the original attack - October 8th 2023. US intelligence has since said they do not believe Tehran was involved. The US and Iran are hardly allies, so if they say they were not involved, I believe it because they hate each others guts! There is no reason for the US to lie in this way.
You have now been provided reasonable proof three times that the old information from US intelligence has been superseded. And you continue to imply that US intelligence is the most trustworthy of sources. Do you know what they say about the Tehran regime?

Whilst it is true that embassies/consulates are not on 'sovereign soil' the second part of your post is wrong.
Iran might well be an awful state, but it had no direct involvement in Oct 7. Even if Iran was indirectly involved, you can't just blow up consulate buildings that are protected under international law. This is according to US intelligence:

Twice now you were provided with new and reliable proof that the late Iranian general Mohammad Reza Zahedi had a “strategic role in planning and executing the Al-Aqsa Storm.", the massacre that led to the slaughter of 1000s of innocent Israelis and Palestinians. From Bkk Brian just now and from me yesterday at 12:22pm.
Yet you post old disformative information to mislead. But at least I see from your link that you now trust US MSM and government. 👍

28 minutes ago, Jeff the Chef said:From Arrow to Iron Dome: The economics of Israel's air defense strategy
How much did it actually cost Israel to shoot down Iran’s flood of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and suicide drones?The price of a single Iron Dome interceptor missile is about $50,000, and most of the time, it is directed at an inaccurate, primitive rocket with a relatively small payload. In the case of intercepting a ballistic missile from Iran, the numbers are in completely different spheres.
Seems relatively cheap militarily. At $50K you can down 1000 incoming for $50M. Compare that to 3 Israeli F35 squadrons (prob. 35-50 planes) airborne also shooting down drones and cruise missiles. The planes cost ~$5B. That's equivalent to 1,000,000 incoming.

6 hours ago, thaibeachlovers said:Irrelevant. The consulate was on Iranian territory. An attack on it was an attack on Iran.
The extraterritoriality thing is more an old wives' tale. Consulate territory is not really Iran territory. reference
Contrary to popular belief, diplomatic missions sometimes do not enjoy full extraterritorial status and are generally not sovereign territory of the represented state. The sending state can give embassies sovereign status but this only happens with a minority of countries. Rather, the premises of an embassy remain under the jurisdiction of the host state while being afforded special privileges (such as immunity from most local laws). [also note consulates don't even get the same protections as embassies]
Given that, do you still wish to protect the guy responsible for the Oct 7 operation that eventually led to the horrific deaths of thousands of innocent Israelis and Palestinians?

Get real .
I have explained to him five times that the Iranian Embassy in Syria wasn't covered by Embassy laws because Israel wasn't the host Country ,
I didn't even ask a question, let alone change the question
You have it backwards I was criticizing his posting and how he keeps changing the goalpost. When a poster changes the question, that's when you, we win.
It's from the saying. "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they argue, then you win". Was that Gandhi?

300 is a minute percentage of the stocks of conventional missiles and drones they hold. They are also widely reputed to have over 3000 ballistic missiles.
It's not about stock, it's about transport, prep, and launch bandwidth. How many how fast. There are missiles and there are missiles. Big computer guided missiles/drones can take much more effort. And of course they must all be targeted.
For a data point, again look at my reference on the Russian effort to launch 158 in one day. That was part of a larger attack that lasted 5 days. Total for missiles and drones for the 5 days was 500.

Completely different question.
It does not counter the first opinion, just says it would be nice to talk things out before bombing. LOL. Talk things out with Iran's IRGC, who are trying their best to kill you...

Some have suggested the principle of embassy inviolability is in itself inviolable, that is omnipotent. It is not, it is omnipotent only in a specific set of circumstances, those related to diplomatic relations. Why would it it be otherwise? It's a complex legal question so for clarity let's ask ChatGPT, which can access all information.

You are right, he is wrong.
There are only 4 countries that say IRGC is a terrorist organization. Therefore, it is NOT a terrorist organization, because it has not been approved by the world -a UN vote would be required.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Revolutionary_Guard_Corps
Math doesn't work that way. How many countries officially designate IRGC as non terrorist nice guys, 0. (excepting perpetrator Iran)
4 Yea, 0 Nay: Thus state terrorist organization.

You need to ask Jimmy Carter.
BTW the 'many killed' inside the ancillary consulate annex were mostly non consulate IRGC global terrorist senior officers up to illegal activity. This included general Mohammad Reza Zahedil who helped plan the unconscionable October 7 massacre of women and children in Israel.
Reference [here]. Reliability of the reference. [here]
I would like to ask you up front, do any of these facts make any difference to you?
If not, why not?

It would be suicide to say 'hey Israel, 2pm at the border, you against us'. When dealing with bullies, drastic measures are required. This conflict did not start on Oct 7!
The ongoing aggression by Israel against Gaza has created an imbalanced power dynamic where the Palestinian people are severely disadvantaged. IDF's superiority, backed by advanced weaponry(from US) leaves Gazans unable to match the Israeli army's might. This power asymmetry, coupled with discrimination, apartheid-like policies, and rampant human rights violations such as arbitrary detentions without trial, creates a sense of desperation among the oppressed. When faced with relentless oppression and limited means to defend themselves, some individuals tragically resort to acts of terrorism as a desperate attempt to resist occupation and draw attention to their plight. While I don't justiify terrorism , I understanding the root causes, including the unequal power dynamics and systematic injustices.

Not initiating a war is admirable, unlike the UK.
Been there many times. Worked many years for an Irani owned high tech company. Lovely people. Persepolis is beautiful.

None, as long a they are not used for military purposes.

Well, no its not correct, is it. Embassies and consulates are generally not the same. Read, not Al Jazeera.
On 1 April 2024, an Israeli airstrike destroyed the Iranian consulate annex building adjacent to the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria, killing 16 people, including a senior Quds Force commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi and seven other IRGC officers. WIKISo, knocked off top Irani generals assigned to attacking Israel. Which you ignore.-

I wouldn't say it was a "complete failure."
Now, Iran knows the strength of Israel's defensive capabilities. That could either deter it from striking again, or it could have revealed weak spots in those capabilities. We'll know again soon if Israel decides to retaliate.Both will have learned about the other.
Mostly Iran learned what doesn't work, and Iran tried most everything they had. Israel now has parts, including electronics, from many of Iran's weapons. They are probably already on a plane to the US.
Never underestimate high technology in modern warfare. That's were the West dominates.

1 hour ago, Neeranam said:5/30 cruise missiles hit Israel he said, this is 16.67%.
A few must be more than 2, but 3/120 is 2.5%
Reading comprehension precedes math. He did not say 5 of 30 cruise missiles hit Israel.
He said, of 30 cruise missiles fired, 0 (zero, none) entered Israel, and that Israel's air force shot down 25 of the 30. The remaining 5 may have been shot down by US planes active in the area or jut crashed. Just crashing often occurs with electronic countermeasures.
You also ignore the majority of the 320 objects he described.
Are you quoting Al Jazeera?

BREAKING NEWS! Iran potentially triggers World War 3
in The War in Israel
Posted
Not only can I read, I can do math.
To save time, let me just explain your deception.
You reference last year's old data (your links) with a 2:1 kill ratio at that time (already good for urban warfare) mix with partial new numbers, add some slight of hand math, then present unsubstantiated civilian death tolls, with no reference or basis in fact. (then you have the gall to scold others about references.)
Here is a (recent) refutation of your numbers:
Hamas data on civilian casualties in Gaza war is misleading and easily disproved
