Makes for fascinating reading, the alleged reason for the alleged attack are shocking...allegedly.
Its amazing how a foreign power can exert power over a sovereign country. Allegedly.

Something that makes me wonder: they say that the first couple of attacks were specifically aimed at all the antennas and dishes etc? In the old times how accurate were the shots, missiles, bombs etc. fired by a aircraft? I wonder.

Very. The dishes, masts and antennas are not small targets. In addition Israeli pilots are trained to a very high standard in aerial gunnery.
Google the Israeli attack on the Osirak reactor in Iraq for context on their pilots skill and tactics.

I do not judge Israel, many people have hated them for centuries just because they are the CHOSEN nation of the creator ....and people swallow hard on this....they cannot stand it....especially in a world were everyone is told everyone is equal etc etc...

Isreal constantly needs to protect themselves against their enemies and against the world...thus the majority of times these things are reported on it is biased against Isreal...

Taking the constant threats posed to them, it may come as no surprise that they have one of the best trained millitaries on the planet...

Then they have iron dome...operation sampson etc etc...plus a prophecy that says that says Isreal will destroy her enemies in a day....(sunset to sunset)
