    Iran has already been on the ground in the Ukraine theatre.....mostly in Crimea operating drones against Ukraine targets.... as have many Asian, African and even South American odds and sods from suspect regimes.... nothing new there.

    Good grief,.. this isn't the first time that region has gone the way of the pear,... it has happened any number of times, a lot of them more serious than this, not one of them led to a world war.... stop getting all flaky and emotional.... it's not a happy scenario, lives will be lost, but...

    In the normal ebb and flow of geo-political/ military comings and goings, ...yes, this is often the price that a defeated aggressor pays.... it is often a mistake to reward those who initiate violence and aggression... don't you think?

    When I see a fact I'll let you know.... that one you posted above is NOT a fact......... it is a fact that the Iron Dome system is an Israeli developed and manufactured system ( Rafael ).... created in direct response to the persistent firing of low tech rockets from Lebanon and Gaza.

    Certainly a question mark over the ongoing status of the West Bank, but Gaza has not been "occupied" since 2005, and the Golan Heights is a spoil of war when Syria and others attempted to invade and destroy Israel, Israel maintains it as a buffer zone to ensure Syria, and others, cannot easily...

    Golan is simply occupied as a spoil of war, you know, when Syria attempted to invade Israel, then Israel fought back and now maintain Golan as a buffer zone.

    The key point though, the Saudis don't really risk anything by saying that,.... Israel isn't technically attacking Lebanon, it's Hezbollah they are after.... so as long as Israel doesn't start trashing Lebanese military personnel and infrastructure.... I am guessing no tangible protests will...

    Naah.... all these jihadist actors have declared their desire to kill all Jews... they are a threat to the citizens of Israel because of the random firing of low tech missiles in the general direction of Israeli citizenry, as long as they continue on that path, Israel will defend itself...

    I am not sure you have much clarity around the military balance in that region... Jordan and Egypt won't attack Israel, they have both largely prospered since signing security agreements with Israel.... Syria has ceased to be a credible military entity since the Russians, US, UK and many others...
