From what I have heard today, they have two main facilities, one wasn’t really hit, it’s in a mountain and .5 miles under ground. The other they did hit, as it’s not as deep and well protected.

Yeah acoording to some sources this second one was only destroyed on the above-ground part. Who knows Israel might strike again tomorrow I've heard them say operation is not over and will take lots of bombardments. On some other rumors some say Iran already has built a bomb and will test it tomorrow. Most likely BS. All in all crazy time to be "alive"
 
word from where?



And a plethora of other sources that matter less.

The one thing that confirms it for me is that Israeli social media is denying it lol

Right. Israel doesn't have bunker busters because they don't have bombers to carry them. They only have jet fighters, so it will take a lot of hits to knock out the one below ground with standard missiles.
 

First order of House business: Protect Israel’s Netanyahu?

GOP Congressman Massie bucks party and lashes out: ‘where’s our priorities’?

UPDATE 1/9: On Thursday, the House voted 243-to-140 — with 45 Democrats joining all Republicans — to support the bill sanctioning the ICC and anyone who has directly engaged in or otherwise aided any effort by the International Criminal Court to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute a protected person (in this case Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu). Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) voted "present."

The upcoming House of Representatives Rules Committee Package is sure to include a section requiring the consideration of a bill that would sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC), therefore shielding Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu from arrest.

The ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, as well as former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leader Ibrahim Al-Masri in November 2024 for their actions in Gaza, alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity. ICC judges said that the Gaza blockade "created conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of part of the civilian population in Gaza, which resulted in the death of civilians, including children, due to malnutrition and dehydration.”

A House Resolution introduced by over a dozen House Republicans, titled the”‘Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act” is meant “to impose sanctions with respect to the International Criminal Court engaged in any effort to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute any protected person of the United States and its allies.”

The bill found that “The United States and Israel are not parties to the Rome Statute or members of the International Criminal Court (ICC), and therefore the ICC has no legitimacy or jurisdiction over the United States or Israel.” Because of the lack of jurisdiction, the co-sponsors assert, “The ICC’s actions against Israel, including the preliminary examination and investigation of Israel and issuance of arrest warrants against Israeli officials, are illegitimate and baseless and create a damaging precedent that threatens the United States, Israel, and all United States partners who have not consented to the ICC’s jurisdiction.”

The bill further states that “if the International Criminal Court is engaging in any attempt to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute any protected person,” the President shall then impose sanctions. These sanctions can be placed on any “foreign person” who directly aided or engaged in efforts to assist the ICC in investigating, arresting, detaining, or prosecuting a protected person. This could include financial or material assistance.

Despite calling the arrest warrant for Netanyahu “outrageous,” President Biden had previously opposed sanctioning the ICC for seeking arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu. However, President Trump notably approved sanctions in September 2020 on members of the ICC who were “involved in the ICC’s efforts to investigate US personnel.”

The ICC has no actual enforcement authorities, leaving detention and arrest to the 125 members countries that are party to the Rome convention. But it is fully voluntary. It appears, according to the text, that the bill is authorizing Congress to impose sanctions on any foreign actor (who could be from a partner or allied country) and their families if they helped to detain Netanayhu on behalf of the ICC warrant.What this would look like in practice is unclear. Ireland and the Netherlands (a NATO alliance member) have both indicated that the Israeli prime minister would be arrested if he set foot on their soil.

The decision to include H.R. 23 in the Rules package is not without its opponents. Congressman Thomas Massie (R-Ky) dissented on X: “The United States is a sovereign country, so I don’t assign any credibility to decisions of the International Criminal Court. But how did a bill to protect Netanyahu make it into the House rules package to be voted on immediately after the Speaker vote? Where are our priorities?!” His office declined to comment further when RS inquired.

It is important to note that the package cannot be voted on until House leadership appoints the committee, which may come with additional challenges, as previous speaker Kevin McCarthy was forced to appoint three Freedom Caucus members to the last Rules Committee, and these three members regularly joined Democrats to vote down legislation submitted by Republican leadership.

Israeli public told to return to protected shelterspublished at 23:25​


The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has instructed the public to shelter enter protected spaces and shelter until further notice.
It says its defence systems are operating to intercept missiles launched from Iran.
"A short while ago, the IDF identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel," it said in a statement.
"Leaving the protected space is only permitted following an explicit directive."

Another wave.

Think this one might actually be a proper war giving Netanyahu what he so badly wanted at long, long last.

Congrats dickwad.
 
New wave coming. Iran launching also from Iraq now.

If only there had been a way to avoid this.

Such as not just arbitrarily making up an excuse to attack Iran on a timeline that is based on absolutely nothing.
 
I hear Israel is beautiful this time of year too, too bad their leader is a warmongering piece of shit.
Israeli civilians with the reserves are always carrying weapons where they go.
The Israeli women are always ready for some action:

And i'm afraid with very little success regarding iran's nuclear capabilities. Possibly giving the regime another justification to tighten the rope on it's governance. People tend to become more sympathetic with the government in war time.
