Air raid sirens sound in Tel Aviv - Polidicks

[quote] The Iron Dome rocket defense system intercepted a projectile over Tel Aviv on Tuesday evening. No injuries or damage were reported. The Code Red siren sounded in all of Gush Dan, including the central Israeli cities of Petah Tikva, Lod and Givatayim. It was the first Gaza rocket that reached Tel Aviv since Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012.

Just got a message from my sister and apparently the sirens didn't last long and have stopped now.

What are they fighting over?

The only thing the sirens are for is for people to watch the fireworks Iron Dome will create :v:

You could easily have Israel waste millions of dollars a day on missiles for almost nothing. I can't speak for Hamas, but part of Al-Qaidas plan was to "bleed out" the United States economically by waging an endless war with unprecedented cost.

I wonder if the iron dome could be confused if the rockets spewed out chaffs.

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;45328388]The rockets are cheaper to launch than the Iron dome missiles cost.[/QUOTE] The alternative to the Iron Dome is most likely invading Gaza and the West Bank, and forcing people to pack their bags and get out. Even with that, we'd still have Hamas launching shit outta Lebanon or Egypt.

[QUOTE=DrDevil;45328976]I wonder if the iron dome could be confused if the rockets spewed out chaffs.[/QUOTE] Most likely not, the systems in our Tamir (interceptor missiles) missiles work via RF arrays, completed with heat signature tracking and visible target tracking via cameras (for each missile).

Sirens have gone off in Tel Aviv for a second time. Again, it was intercepted by Iron Dome.

A proximity-fused explosive warhead, triggered by an active laser fuze, is then used to destroy the target.

I love Iron Dome. Videos of it from back in 2012 when it was raining Hamas missiles are pretty beautiful.

showers of rockets going on right now, I hear an iron dome interception every few seconds, a lot of alarms in tel aviv and more far north

I thought it was a dispute about land ownership

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;45333021]I thought it was a dispute about land ownership[/QUOTE] And who owns it, Israelis or Palestinians. It's not a matter of planting the flag of Judiasm or Islam over it, but of those two.

and I was just thinking what it'd be like to move to Tel Aviv...

Look at Muhammed he was basically just a conqueror. Look at the crusades, they even sacked other christians just coz. Look at afghanistan, the US encouraged radical islam and violent jihad as a means to outing the soviets. Look at Chechnya, they united under islam but then turned to islamism as they began to invade surrounding area. Look at whats happening in Iraq at the moment. Wahhabism is basically just politicised islam, their leaders aren't the most pious they are the most effective politicans and fighters.
