Oh yea for sure it's not feasible for anyone except maybe the US and in specific areas and along dangerous borders.

ID interceptor missiles are more like $50k-150k a piece, but multiple are fired during each interception to increase chances of a successful hit. The amount fired already since the 7th is still probably in the $1-2 billion range if you estimate conservatively.

Iron Knife and Iron Beam are much cheaper per shot (~$4 and $2500 respectively) but are developed by Israel itself in collaboration with US military industrial contractors. The Gaza war is a giant live fire test for them and countries including the US and India are lining up to buy them.

Iron Dome as a whole thing array also includes David's Sling and the Arrows which cover different type of attacks. I. E. Cruise and ballistic missiles amongst other things.

Who needs Blushweaver when you got your priest.

If Israel falls the entire region gets glassed by nukes. They are suspected to have nearly as many as China. They are a world leader in missile tech. They won't miss.

It's called the Samson Plan. Russia has a similar doctrine, as probably does most nuclear powers.

Defending them via aid which, in the current war, is $1-2 billion dollars in defensive interceptor missiles already, is a good investment. Biden literally said it was the best investment America makes during his speech a little while ago. He's said that before in the 90s if I recall correctly, back when he was the senate foreign relations guy.

Israel is also a giant weapons rnd and live fire experiment for the US military industrial complex. They aren't giving it up. Israel is the first country to deploy laser weaponry in their defense (light knife), and in this war is live testing the state of the art Iron Beam (Light Shield).

This is the real Politik people miss when discussing Israel and Palestine ignorant of most of the historical context.

The entire region has tried to delete Israel before. The state isn't going anywhere without taking everyone else with them.

They've been shooting for almost a month.

This is how things go in the neighborhood.

Also nice name.

WP is allowed for artillery range finding and is the US procedure as well.

That's what's it's been used for. In Lebanon most of the wounded civilians got sent home the same day because Hezbollah doesn't do the human shield shit to the same genocidal intent.

The Rome treaty you are thinking of Israel is not a party to BTW. Same as the USA.

It's called checking the down vote history which is public if you run a federated instance.

Or how certain instances you frequent ban people for posting facts.

Turns out a lot of people on the left think the jihadist shit that hurts civilians is justified because their side is oppressed.

It's disgusting and perpetuates the cycle of violence. Before the current war things were improving. Israelis were fighting hard to remove Netanyahu from power, including the military (air force) striking.

Edit: No one cares about the Israelis (Including the 20% Arab citizen pop) entering the west bank at the risk of being murdered to defend Olive picking workers from Israeli settlers and IDF clowns who disgrace their uniforms.

Reposting.

Israel doesn't operate the Egypt side and Egypt wants to not be an active participant beyond maintaining the crossing. They especially don't want to run a PoW camp.

Working with the IDF directly to transfer prisoners to them would probably start shit in Egypt Sisi doesn't want to start as it would be seen as entering the war I guess. Iran backed Houthi rebels in Yemen are already doing War Crimes on Egyptian hospitals for their current stance.

Also allowing a war crime (using ambulances to transport fighters and/or arms) and defending it like this emboldens them to continue doing it to the detriment of civilians since they won't face consequences.

Hamas has done it numerous times before
