Back in the shelter. Feel like I should be singing gimme shelter by the stones.

Good luck Bach, hope it all goes well for you and your.

[Mik]

It's hard to imagine. Best of luck both for you and yours, and for the mission.

[bachophile]

Back out. All kewl.

[Mik]

The Iranians are claiming they struck with precision. I rather doubt that.

[jon-nyc]

Maybe so

[Mik]

Yeah, but hitting a city is hardly precision.

I heard a few booms but far off. Now a lull so im out with the dog. Last thing I need is the dog peeing in the shelter.

[bachophile]

So to sum up. Nine places where there were impacts. No serious injuries reported. Some scratches from flying glass.

[Mik]

Definitely not first world problems.

I wonder how many missiles they fired.

[bachophile]

They are saying 200.

Injured now reported at twenty.

[Mik]

I've been glued to NYT as they do updates every few minutes. they did not say anything about the extent of Iran's response.

@Mik You should read 'The last Shah' by Ray Takeyh'. Gives a good insight into the historical backgrounds of Iran/Persia.

I’m going to sleep. Already past 11 here.

[LuFins Dad]

Are the retaliation strikes coming strictly from Iran? Anything from Hezbolah or the Houthis?

"As it became clear Israel was about to attack, IRGC air force commanders convened in a bunker to coordinate the response. But Israel knew that emergency protocol, and the location of the bunker. They destroyed it, killing the heads of the drone and air defense forces."

Morning. Tough night last night. One impact direct on a residential neighborhood. Three dead.

But to cheer up the morning, here is a drone being taken out a short time ago
