The known death toll of the wave of missiles fired by Iran into Israel yesterday is as follows: Israelis 0, Palestinians 1. Yes, the Islamic Republic, in its preening, violent display of solidarity... laid waste to just one life.
When you fire 180 ballistic missiles at a state, with little advance warning, you know... that death may very well ensue. That it didn't, that only one, poor Palestinian perished under Iran's rockets, is a testament to the extraordinarily high value Israel places on the lives of its citizens.
As we grapple with the seriousness of what Iran did, with the criminality of its onslaught, it is important to clock Iran's weaknesses, too. Are we witnessing the death rattle of Iranian tyranny?
It would appear that the Jewish desire to survive prevailed over the mullahs' urge to kill. The ruthless theocracy's entire structure is now questioned in the wake of such failures.
