Israel asserts air superiority over Iran, destroys air defense systems near the Caspian Sea
The Israeli Air Force continued to expand its air superiority over Iranian skies, destroying strategically-located air defense systems near the Caspian Sea, in the northernmost region of Iran.
On Sunday, “the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, struck a site where air defense systems belonging to the Iranian terrorist regime had been deployed near the Caspian Sea in northern Iran,” the IDF revealed. “The site was concealed within a forested area, at a distance of more than 1,600 kilometers from the State of Israel.

Ho hum, Another day another dead goon.
The following:
“buffer zone up to the Litani river, a 90-mile natural barrier cutting across southern Lebanon”
was supposed to already exist agreed to by the Lebanese government and patrolled by UN peacekeeping forces. Guess what. The UN failed and even aided Hezbollah.
Since it’s a natural border Israel should just annex it. That will make the global/progressives scream but F them. Annex it and put up a wall with search lights and guns, lots of guns. Also mine the whole damn thing to make the bleeding hearts (other peoples heart) bleed even more. Shoot anything within the zone and leave it to rot as a warning. Bury a lot of seismic detectors to detect tunnelling.
winninggg!
