There is endless data showing that the coronavirus damages the heart, blood vessels, brain, and immune system. Saying “I smoked 5 times in 2 years and I’m fine” is the same as saying “I smoked a pack a day for 2 years and I’m fine!”
The data shows that what you are doing is extremely dangerous https://t.co/yGqzeY4JfM

Operation Truth Promise 2: Iran strikes again as missile barrage overwhelms Israeli defenses Simplicius
US helps Israel shoot down Iranian missile – Pentagon BBC (Kevin W). ZOMG, this would be funny if not pathetic. No matter how you look at it, Iran launched between 200 and 400 missiles. From the article: “The United States fired about a dozen interceptor missiles in response to a barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles fired at Israel on Tuesday, the Pentagon said.”
If Israeli numbers are to be believed, Iran easily penetrated what is probably the best AD network in the West, requiring only 180 missiles. If this were a real war scenario, we could be bombarded with 100 missiles every hour for at least a day. One by one…

Israel also claimed to have destroyed many Hezbollah rocket launchers when it sent 100 planes into southern Lebanon and carried out numerous airstrikes. It turned out that there was no launcher there.
