All those attacks were radar installations on the borders with Iran.

So, no, they were not “everyday occurrences”.

Amazing to see the people who call Islam a “Death Cult” cheering for WW3.

These warmongers cheer for death anywhere in the world as long as they are far enough away to cheer in complete safety.

No one is calling for World War 3. Appeasement led to World War 2

Just to be clear..you are not calling Iran (and their proxies) a warmonger? And your solution is to do nothing?
Did Israel deserved to be raped because it wore a low cut dress? And I guess killing babies is not a provocation??
