Watching Tel Aviv burn is so fucking sweet....

I’ve heard there’s at least one fatality due to the Iranian strikes in the Tel Aviv area. Some older videos have been miscaptioned on social media to appear as recent, but there have been validated, ongoing reports of attacks throughout late February and early March 2026, etc…

Why? Iran is winning. They just went hypersonic against a half blind air defense. Kiss Demona good bye.

1 dead? Are you serious? 12 dead in one building alone could be more as they sift through the rubble for bodies and potential survivors.


Old video from when Israel lost the 12 Day War? But how could that be when it never happened right?

Quite a bit behind. Did you know Ben Gurion airport is gone?

Quite a bit behind. Did you know Ben Gurion airport is gone?

No, I didn’t know that. Based on reports from March 5–7, 2026, amid the ongoing conflict, there have been intense, repeated attacks targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, but it has not been reported as completely "destroyed." It has suffered damage from missile debris, experienced flight disruptions, and undergone partial shutdowns.

Here are the key details regarding airport situations in the region as of March 7, 2026:

• Ben Gurion Airport (Israel): Iran has targeted the airport with missiles, leading to severe damage in surrounding areas in central Israel, with debris hitting near the airport. The airport has faced intermittent closures, with some airlines suspending flights and airspace being restricted.
• Tehran's Mehrabad Airport (Iran): Satellite imagery indicates that17 aircraft were damaged or destroyed in Israeli strikes on this airport on March 6-7, 2026. Reports indicate extensive damage to the facility and planes burning on the tarmac.
• Other Regional Airports: Reports indicate damage to Dubai International Airport and incidents affecting airports in the Gulf region during this period.

Summary: The reports indicate that while Iran has made the destruction of Ben Gurion Airport a target, the primary "destruction" reported is in Tehran (Mehrabad Airport) by Israeli forces, not the destruction of Israel's main airport.

This could be outdated info too though. Currently Ben Gurion is like Schrödinger's airport, being both destroyed and not destroyed.

Then, based on survey data, expert analysis, and ongoing protest activity leading into 2026, the Iranian population is not unified behind the current regime; rather, a significant majority opposes the continuation of the Islamic Republic. Recent data suggests that roughly 70% to 80% of Iranians desire a change in government.

Reports indicate that missiles, including those from Yemen, have landed near the airport, forcing temporary shutdowns and suspension of flights.

Quite a bit behind. Did you know Ben Gurion airport is gone?

It is early to mid afternoon in that chunk of the world, & if this was the case, you’d think this would be somewhat newsworthy, right? Ben Gurion Airport is open for limited operations as of Sunday, March 8, 2026, with a gradual resumption of outbound flights beginning at 8 a.m.. While limited inbound flights for repatriating citizens have been operating since late last week, capacity remains restricted due to the ongoing security situation.
