Middle East: Iran launched dozens of missiles and drones at occupied territories last Saturday evening in response to the Zionist entity's crime in attacking the Iranian Consulate section at the Iranian Embassy in Damascus.

Unnamed Israeli sources told The New York Times that 185 drones, 36 cruise missiles, and 110 land-to-land ballistic missiles were launched from Iranian territories into Israel. Additionally, Israel was targeted by explosive drones from Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen. There has been a media and psychological war between the two sides since the operation began, and there is a discrepancy in evaluating the operation's results. 

Narrative warfare currently dominates; Iran's narrative claims significant damage to the "Nafatim" airbase and hitting half of the specified targets, injuring military personnel, according to Iranian Revolutionary Guard Commander Hussein Salami in an interview with Iranian state media.

On the other hand, the Israeli army spokesperson claimed that 99% of the missiles and drones were intercepted with the assistance of US, British, and French military forces, though this was refuted, stating that only 84% were intercepted. It was claimed that only one military center, likely Nafatim, suffered minor damage, with 12 people hospitalized, mostly with injuries or psychological trauma. This article will discuss this Zionist confusion and its causes.

Zionist Double and Contradictory Reaction

It is clear that the Zionists contradict Iran's response. Firstly, Zionist authorities claim to have shot down Iranian missiles and drones without suffering any damage. On the other hand, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist entity, is under intense pressure from cabinet members and government officials. 

Some Zionist politicians and the War Cabinet held repeated meetings on how to respond to Iran's actions. These contradictory statements are the most expressive of the catastrophic defeat suffered by the Zionist entity against Iran and the severe blow that cannot be rectified that Tel Aviv received from Tehran. 

Yedioth Ahronoth, the Zionist newspaper, described the attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus as a wrong move due to incorrect assessments by the Zionist cabinet. It labeled Iran's retaliatory strike against Israel as a "strategic circus" for the ruling entity.

American expert Scott Ritter also confirmed that "Iran attacked the Nafatim airbase with seven of its new missiles, which exceed the speed of sound, and Nafatim base is the military base from which the F-35 fighter jets took off to attack the Iranian consulate in Damascus, and not a single Iranian missile was intercepted." 

In fact, re-reading the contradictory positions of the Zionists, who claim on the one hand that Iran's attack was not successful, and on the other hand, exert a lot of effort to restore lost deterrence after this attack, indicates, contrary to the media positions in Israel, that the Iranian attack was calculated and successful, dealing a significant blow to the Zionist entity.

Unlike the Zionist entity, Iran did not take a sudden action against it, and Iran's reaction was clear, and the regional countries were also aware of it. On the other hand, despite some Western powers sympathetic to Zionism stirring up a fuss and condemning Iran's legitimate defense, Tehran, in a humane action, did not target any civilian sites, civilians, or diplomats.

Additionally, the Zionist entity is now experiencing a state of military confusion. On the one hand, it claims to have one of the largest armies in the world, and on the other hand, it cannot decide how to respond to Iran's actions. It does not know whether it should militarily retaliate against Iran or heed the advice of its most important supporter, the United States, and refrain from escalating tensions with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Zionists also faced a stern warning from Iran that if they took military action against Iran, Tehran's next reaction would be harsher and harsher.

Conclusion

After many years of declaring the legitimacy of this fake entity and following the entity's battles in the Six-Day War in 1967 and the Yom Kippur War in 1973, former Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion took a very serious stance and coined a thoughtful phrase: "Israel can win 100 battles and create its problems, but if it loses just one battle, it means its death." And now, although the Zionists are trying not to express it, they believe that they have left the battle to Iran, and therefore they fear death before reaching the age of eighty.
