So, let me just get a few things straight regarding these Jewish ambulances.
A "targeted attack" hits the ambulances, wiping out all 4 of them (2 of which were already in the process of being replaced).
Bare in mind, this was literally RIGHT NEXT to a synagogue, which was left untouched.
Within 15 minutes of said attack, the FIRST people to report on it was a Jewish based news outlet that is based abroad.
Then, within hours, no motive was established, and nobody claimed the attack (at the time), but it was brandished as an "antisemitic hate crime."
Within 24 hours, the government had arranged:
- fully funded replacements of the vehicles (apparently, they gave them 5, even though they only lost four)
- extra security for Jewish communities across the country
And to top it ALL off, they raised around 2 million in 24 hours.
It all just seems a little TOO convenient, don't ya think?
YOU ARE NOT ASKING ENOUGH QUESTIONS, AND I'M BEING DEMONISED FOR ASKING THEM.

Price gouging alert:
At least one filling station in Ennis, Co. Clare, jumped their diesel price, from €2.19.9 to €2.27.9, as soon as the the excise reduction was announced.
Avoid @circlekireland on the Gort Road, like the plague.

Eurostar Tip: A little tip for anyone in the UK who likes to travel via Eurostar, and is relatively flexible- they have a semi-hidden ticket type called 'Eurostar Snap', where you can regularly travel for like £70 return.
You can only specify that you want to travel morning or afternoon, then a couple of days before travel they let you know the exact time of the train they've put you on.
Google 'Eurostar Snap' and you'll find the booking page.

Dear Zohran,
St Patrick’s Day is about Ireland.
Irish history. Irish culture. Irish people.
ONLY IRELAND.
It is not about Palestine. And it’s an insult to the Irish to hijack their sacred day with your Middle East political agenda.
Not everything is about you.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Talented Japanese people will be playing live Irish traditional music on Shop Street in Galway from 3PM today. Buy them pints. This looks like the cover of a trad album you’d see in the 1970’s. ☘️

This is an excellent account. I hope she stays safe because we know how Israel threat journalists.

@dlLambo @ravenmargo1 Every morning I see posts from on the ground in the Middle East of Iranian missiles hitting Israel (verified) before I head to Rte’s website where there is no mention , just the usual headline Isreal and the US continue to bomb Iran

According to the White House:
—
• Iran's ballistic missile attacks down 90%.
• Iranian drone attacks down 95%.
• 6,000+ targets struck.
• 90+ Iranian vessels destroyed.
• Iran's entire ballistic missile capacity functionally destroyed.
• Iranian navy assessed as combat ineffective.
• Overwhelming air dominance over Iran.

Israel believed Hezbollah had been severely weakened and appeared to be counting on drawing the United States into a war with Iran in order to complete what it saw as a decisive campaign against Hezbollah. That calculation now appears far less certain. Israel has entered the phase it once warned its adversaries about: the moment when a “heavy price” begins to be paid. Hezbollah’s recent escalation is turning the narrative of victory promoted by Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence minister Israel Katz against them.
The situation on the ground reflects this reversal. The Israeli government had initially urged residents of the north to remain in place, projecting confidence in its ability to control the escalation. Now those same populations are being urged to evacuate as quickly as possible. Such a shift carries political consequences, undermining the government’s claims of strategic success and exposing the gap between official messaging and battlefield realities.
If Hezbollah is capable of launching around one hundred missiles of different calibres in a single wave, including systems such as the Fateh-110, it suggests that its arsenal remains significantly larger than many intelligence assessments had anticipated. Rather than signalling exhaustion, the scale and variety of launches indicate that Hezbollah retains substantial strike capacity despite months of pressure.
At the same time, Israel’s strategy of forcing the evacuation of the Shia population from the southern suburbs of Beirut, more than eighty villages in southern Lebanon, and areas of the Bekaa Valley may have produced an unintended effect. By emptying civilian areas that Hezbollah traditionally seeks to protect, Israel may have reduced one of the movement’s operational constraints. The message inadvertently sent is that Hezbollah can now conduct operations with fewer concerns about the immediate impact on the communities it claims to defend.

Launchers and Missiles
When I talk about how complicated it is to face a country that has been stockpiling missiles for more than two decades, many people always ask about the launchers because both the IDF and CENTCOM have always reported that they had destroyed a large part of the Iranian launchers. Which is complete nonsense.
Iran has been manufacturing launchers of various sizes for 35 years. Look around you and imagine a country manufacturing and stockpiling something for 35 years.
Just in cruise and ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel, Iran currently manufactures around 10-12 models, with the first one commissioned almost 30 years ago.
Today North Korea manufactures thousands of ballistic and cruise missiles per year, in an industry much smaller than Iran’s and completely state-owned.
The Iranians, on the other hand, have an entire network of public and private companies, with various startups forming a vast ecosystem connected to universities and other research centers.
It has been many years of manufacturing and stockpiling missiles for so many people to come saying nonsense like the Iranian missiles or launchers are running out.
It reminds me of that Western mathematician who used to curse the Russian missiles, which still haven’t run out to this day.
Returning to the launchers, the most intriguing part is that when we check with the specialists - like elmustek-, who collect visual evidence from this war, we see that only about 30 launchers have been destroyed to date with visual confirmation.
But if that were really a problem, Iran could simply operate from its silos.
The West has mapped around 25 Iranian bases that have 4-6 silos each.
If 25 have been mapped, I’d say the real number could be between 50-100, which would give a total of 200-600 silos.
Some of these silos use the revolver system, meaning one missile is launched, the drum rotates and already puts the next one in launch position. These revolver systems normally hold about 8 missiles each.
I believe Iran has not yet entered the phase of massively using its silos, mainly because it doesn’t want satellites to map all of these bases.
At least I don’t see Iran reducing launches due to a lack of launchers.
But I assume they are focused on reducing the number of drones over their territory before increasing the launches.
Israeli and American surveillance is of excellent quality, and the Iranians know it. In fact, these are the great weapons of these two countries.
By the way, this is a very important point in this war. Intelligence and analysis are trampled when there is impulsiveness, but the battlefield delivers the bill sooner or later.
