>>507581772 (OP)for the past 7 years or so, hamas and hezbollah were firing rockets into israel on an almost daily basis, all funded by iran.
israel mostly ignored those, did not retaliate, and simply built the iron dome to defend itself.
after the october 7, 2023 events, israel decided simply being defensive isn't good enough, and went on to fuck up hamas, hezbollah, and iran.
there was already ample excuse to attack hamas and hezbollah after them directly attacking israel, but not iran.
however, on october 2024, iran fired 200 ballistic missiles at israel. this set in motion an israeli plan to retaliate, which is currently being executed.
