There's no doubt about that. But you really need to read about their prowess in technology for you to understand how intelligent and powerful Israel is. A country of 9-10m people but feared by many. They are good example of the statement "work smart, not hard". Self-sufficient in food production, even though they live in a dry land.

How I wish Nigeria can study and adopt some of these attributes. Despite the massive number of fertile lands God has blessed us with, yet we are still battling with hunger.
Education › N55k Books For Pre-kindergarten? - Nigerian Woman Reacts Angrily by edogu(op): 7:23am On Apr 20, 2024
A Nigerian woman, Tanko Lami, has expressed shock after receiving a slip containing breakdown of fees for pre-kindergarten pupils.

“Development Levy 300k as in how? You will give my child teeth and brain cells because I don't understand. 55k books for a pre-Kindergarten. This pikin no even reach the kindergarten finish sef, and books of 55k at that stage,” she wrote in a Facebook post on Friday, April 19.

Just few drones and everyone just dey para. And it was nuclear facility, Isfahan. Israel just wanted to let Iran know that they not impenetrable.

According to De Bretton Gordon, "Iran fires 300 plus miles at Israel, they virtually all get shot down. Israel fires one, perhaps two missiles, at an Iranian target - which appears to have got through and caused damage."

He is simply saying you can't compare the love of a father to that of stranger. No doubt, the money is there. But if the children need an assistance, it's easier to approach your father than a stranger.

I'm talking from experience. Any time I'm stranded, I can comfortably call my dad for help. You can't compare such when dealing with a stranger.

Let's not forget this is something that's habitual. It's not a one-time thing.

Foreign Affairs › Iranians On Edge As Leaders Say 'Tel Aviv Is Our Battleground' by edogu(op):
Tehran is tense, two days after Iran's unprecedented direct attack on Israel.

Worried about war and its impact on Iran's already flailing economy, a significant proportion of Iranians oppose what they see as the reckless adventurism of the country's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), which fired more than 300 drones and missiles on Saturday night.

In a letter sent to BBC Persian, a long list of Iranian activists both inside the country and abroad criticised the IRGC's actions and saying "No to warmongering!"

Many Iranians also see the Iran-Israel confrontation now emerging from the shadows as being orchestrated by the Iranian government rather than reflective of the will of the Iranian people.

This perception is underscored by a heavy police presence on the streets of Tehran - ostensibly about enforcing strict Islamic dress codes requiring women to cover their hair but which many suspect is mainly about crushing any possible protests.

Some decision-makers fear that if Iranian security forces and the IRGC's command centres are hit in a war with Israel and the US, this could reignite nationwide protests that erupted in 2022 after the death of a young woman in police custody.

Some graffiti has appeared on walls in Iranian cities - "Israel, strike the supreme leader's [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's] house," reads one. "Israel hit them, they lack the courage to retaliate," read another.

The government has its own billboards - "Tel Aviv is our battleground, not Tehran," reads one.

Immediately after the IRGC attack, supporters of the Islamic Republic celebrated and a banner warning Israelis that "the next slap will be fiercer" was hung from a building in Tehran.

"I believe it was the right decision to attack Israel to prevent further killings of Iranian commanders in Syria and elsewhere," one woman said in a voice message sent to BBC Persian.

But another said: "Iranians themselves are in a state of war with the current regime. We harbour no animosity towards any nation, including Israel."

Meanwhile a woman said she was concerned about a wider war. Such fears appeared to prompt people to scramble to stock up on essentials like food and fuel, with pictures showing queues forming outside petrol stations in Tehran and supermarkets inundated with shoppers.

With the official inflation rate standing at just over 40% and tens of millions of people struggling with the cost of living, a military confrontation with Israel was the last thing most Iranians wanted.

The value of the Iranian rial fell against the US dollar after the IRGC attack, as it had already done after Israel's earlier attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria.

Many worry that, sooner or later, the military escalations will hike the prices of many goods, from mobile phones to home appliances and many foodstuffs.

The Iranian government sets the price of some essential items such as bread and fuel, and lets many items be imported on a preferential exchange rate (in other words cheap foreign currency). But still the price of many goods follow the open market exchange rate.

Iran's economy has been struggling since the US left an international deal to limit Iran's nuclear activities in 2018 and re-imposed crippling sanctions, particularly curbing Iran's ability to export crude oil.

On Tuesday, Iranian newspapers were focusing on international pressure on Israel to show restraint but also attempting to allay any economic concerns.

Iran's press - which reflects a range of political viewpoints, albeit within unwritten rules - has been largely supportive of the IRGC action

Keyhan insisted that there was "economic calm by showing Iran's power". Hardline Vatan-e Emrouz said Sunday night's emergency UN Security Council meeting called by Israel was a "night of isolation" for Israel, while reformist newspaper Arman-e Emrouz noted a "global wave to end tensions in the Middle East".

Online, the Islamic Republic's supporters have been posting under the Persian-language hashtags #punishing_the_aggressor and #we_made_them_regretful.

However critical posts under the English hashtag #IRGCterrorists have swept Persian-language X, urging Western countries to designate the IRGC a terrorist organisation and paying tribute to protesters that they say the IRGC and other security forces killed during the 2022 nationwide protests.

Popular former footballer Ali Karimi, based outside Iran, meanwhile posted a photo of intertwined hands overlaid with the Israeli flag and a previous version of the Iranian flag that was in use before the 1979 Islamic revolution.

"We are Iran, not the Islamic republic," he said.

Israel can't defeat Iran without the support of UK or US. If not for their intervention, by now, they will have been in a big mess. They were intoxicated because everyone was begging them to free Palestine, and have gone to cross their boundary.

Iran have more firepower and resources than Israel. Israel (10M population) can only bully small countries like Palestine (5M population), and not Iran (100M) that are war-ready always, and hate them.

I will preach for peace from both sides, and I'm not in support of both sides.
Let's not forget that the same Israel have been fighting Hamas, Houthis and Hezbollah. All Iranian proxies. Yet they're able to defend themselves against direct attack from Iran.

He's right. The reason all sanctions was withdrawn was on the condition she (Iran) will not develop a nuclear weapon. Do they have uranium enrichment program? Yes!

According to Iran, it's purely for energy and research. Whether this is being done secretly, that I can't tell.

But they're being monitored by IAEA to ensure this do not happen. Israel too has sworn not to let this happen.

You can Google list of countries with nuclear weapons for further information.

He's right. Israel has called for an emergency UN security Council meeting. Although, Israel is not a member, they had to go through a member- Malta.

There's nothing wrong in that approach. It's just laying your complaint before the Elders.

Iran, too, have written to UN citing self defense as reason for their attack.

The above submission does not mean Israel will not retaliate.

Politics › What Is Israel's Iron Dome Missile System And How Does It Work? by edogu(op): 1:14am On Apr 14, 2024
Israel says its Iron Dome missile defence system has helped protect the country against rockets fired by the Hamas militant group from Gaza.

The Israeli military says that without it, casualties would have been "far higher" during the current conflict. However, some incoming rockets have fallen on built-up areas.

What is Iron Dome and how does it work?
Iron Dome is designed to protect against incoming short-range weapons. It operates in all weather conditions.

It uses radar to track rockets and can differentiate between those that are likely to hit built-up areas and those that are not. Interceptor missiles are only fired at rockets expected to strike populated areas.

The system consists of batteries located across Israel, each with three to four launchers that can fire 20 interceptor missiles. There are both fixed and mobile versions of the system.

How effective is Iron Dome?
Israel's military has claimed a success rate of up to 90% for Iron Dome.

Hamas said that on the first day of its attack it launched 5,000 rockets, although Israel says it probably launched half that number.

The rockets were fired in a short space of time in an attempt to overwhelm Iron Dome.

Others have been fired from Lebanon by Hezbollah.

The Israeli Defense Forces said more than 8,000 rockets have been fired at Israel since 7 October.

Some rockets have evaded Iron Dome and fallen on built-up areas causing several deaths and injuries, according to Israeli media.

On 27 October, four people were injured when a rocket hit an apartment building in Tel Aviv.

However, Israeli military spokesman Lt Col Jonathan Conricus said: "The number of Israelis killed and wounded would be far higher if it had not been for the Iron Dome system, which has been a life saver as it always is."

Lie. Apart from a 10 year old boy (for now) who was injured outside the capital, virtually all the missiles have been intercepted by the Iron dome while some were shot down by the United States.

I hope they have confidence in Tehran's own air defence
Iran has an enormous amount of missiles and drones. But their air defence system is not as strong as that of Israel. If Israel decides to retaliate, expect some damages.

The decision by Israel to retaliate will depend on the level of damages caused by the drones and ballistic missiles. Let's not forget Israelis maxim, "an eye for an eye, a tit for tat".

Already, Israel has made it clear that they will retaliate should there be an attack for Iranian soil.

Iran has launched drones at Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday night.

It said the wave could take hours to reach Israel.

It comes after days of anticipation that Iran was preparing to attack Israel in retaliation for a strike which killed a top Iranian commander.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country's defence systems have been deployed and that Israel's armed forces were ready.

"I established a clear principle - whoever hurts us, we hurt him. We will protect ourselves from any threat and we will do so with coolness and determination," he said.
