They're both paper tigers to an extent. Israel's military no longer seems like it can punch above its weight. They're still revered, but they're no longer the pocket superpower they once were. Still more competent than their neighbors, but comparatively weaker than decades ago.

Meanwhile, whilst Iran has a vast missile and suicide drone arsenal, their conventional forces are lackluster. Almost their entire airforce consists of outdated aircraft. They lack the ability to control airspace and ultimately would suffer in combined arms warfare against a similar sized NATO country. All they can do is strike from a distance. Once their air defences are knocked out, they're toast.
Yes, and not to forget that Israel has the intelligence of US, UK and other western countries at its service.
Also US and British air forces have helped downing a substantial number of drones and rockets.

Iran however, always manages to hit "around" any important targets. All these theatrics and one injured person as a result, not even a military personnel.
What a load of bull crap.

Definitely not intercepted, that is first stage that fell after separation.

There is no way, a hit to kill interception at high hypersonic speed would left the whole first stage intact like this. It would've smashed it into many pieces.

@Kartal1 I mean, can't be totally sure but it looks like somebody dug a hole and left the soil beside.

I think the soil is a bit different. The sand on the left looks more clean and not so rocky. Maybe the brought the soil so they can fill the crater.

I doubt this is a crater made by a ballistic missile strike tho. It looks small to me.

Sooner or later the taxpayers will ask where their money go for and for which propose?
If you read the bill, purpose of the money is pretty explicit. The overwhelming majority of the money is to enhance and re-supply Israel's air defense systems, further hardening the country from attacks the like of which we witnessed yesterday... And the reality is that said air defense network actually worked quite well yesterday. Not a single civilian perished and more than 95% of the actual projectiles launched were successfully intercepted.

Defensive equipment actually seems like a perfectly reasonable allotment of a nation's resources.

Actually it is comparable with the craters caused in the Ayn Al-Asad base.

And this is a crater from a malfunctioned Iranian ballistic missile fired at Syrian territory, but fell in Iraq. (Old)

Well, I thought they make bigger holes than that. Anyway...

The Israeli cabinet decided to attack Iran tonight.
If this is true, it is telegraphed in a way to give Iran time to prepare. Again, to show that Israel won't simply accept this, without blowing the entire region up in conflict.

I'd be very surprised if an Israeli retaliatory strike featured anything more than limited, targeted strikes.

Half of the ballistic missiles launched by Iran were not fired or never reached the target. Therefore, Israel and its allies were able to hit only 55 of 65 ballistic missiles. 10 ballistic missiles were hit.

Stupid guys increased Iran's success rate without knowing or understanding.
By the way, for those who will say what nonsense this is, Iran also used ballistic missiles, some of which were 20 years old, during the attack. The fact that 40-50 of them did not work or fell before reaching the target is probably due to the fact that the missiles are extremely old, not due to a production error or incompetence.
