Anyone who thinks Saturday’s Iranian drone-missile barrage against Israel was “the big attack” is mistaken and obviously not paying attention. It was merely a test.

What did Iran learn? A few very useful facts. - Israel B. Bitton @IsraelBitton

• Iran can, without any immediate consequence, shut down the airspace of nearly the entire Middle East. 
• Iran can paralyze Israel as the entire country is forced to wait in/near shelters and brace themselves for an unknown onslaught...

Yet, this was NOT a military failure. 

It was a military operation to both save face and back up their belligerent tone in the aftermath of Israel’s elimination of a top IRGC general, and to test how many drones and missiles it’ll take to overwhelm Israel’s and its allies’ defenses. 

• 200 drones and missiles fired. 

How many came from Lebanon during the Iranian onslaught? 

50 or so. 

• Yet Hezbollah posses more than 10,000 rockets!..
