Iranian Missile Attack Hits Mossad Headquarters Close to Tel Aviv

It's a post of the CNN allegedly reporting on Iran saying it targeted it. It's fake nonsense the Iranians recycle from time to time, don't believe anything you hear from the Iranians. Mossad HQ is in a known location and you can't hide it being hit with a ballistic missile. The Iranian regime are a known joke.

Hezbollah hits Mossad headquarters in ‘largest attack’

The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah says it has targeted Israel's Glilot military base and Mossad headquarters on the outskirts of Tel Aviv with salvos of Fadi-4 rockets.

So far in this thread, I don't see any mainstream new sources being cited, so whether this event actually happened is still unknown.

Like the mainstream news that told us Sadamm had WMD and Joe Biden was fine cognitively and he just had a stutter?

The mainstream news that has high standards for reporting and isn't just a rumor mill like social media sites or a lot of minor news sites tend to be.

How can they have high standards for reporting when they pushed the lies that Saddam had WMD and Joe Biden was fine cognitively? I bet you won't even comment on those two things.

People will go with the best information available at the time. Sometimes that information is wrong, but that's not on the news agencies themselves as long as their processes for vetting and other safeguards are in place. At the end of the day, if a new agency gets it right over 90% of the time, then that's far better than some twitter post that tends to either intentionally be misinformation or is just plain sloppy.

What you should be looking at is overall stats, like those provided by mediabiasfactcheck that show overall accuracy and not be fooled by single instances here and there. That's how actual analysis works and actual analysis, using actual data is far more preferable than random witch hunting.

Like clockwork. You guys are all so predictable. You can't even have a discussion in good faith because you all won't even acknowledge anything that affects your argument. You aren't fooling anyone.

Its a solved problem. At this point the only issue is dealing with the malcontents.
 
Iran also claims to have shot down three F-35s. Israel denies any have been hit.

I am waiting for some harder evidence than a non-descript short video from quite a distance. About a year ago, Iran made big fanfare declaring that it had destroyed Mossad's HQ. The reality turned out to be that they created a small crater in a parking lot. So, while I'm not putting it past their capacity since very clearly their missiles are landing, I think we need more solid confirmation.

Weren't they echoing the Bush administration about WMD?

Yes but is that supposed to be an excuse? I don't remember any reporting in mainstream outlets that questioned the narrative.
 
Why would Isreal do exactly what they criticized Hamas of doing?

Mossad's HQ is a compound in a city just like CIA's HQ is.
That's not to be mistaken for a tunnel built underneath a hospital (where Hamas leader was eliminated).
Idiotic.

So Isreal did the exact same thing they criticize Hamas for. Its hilarious that you think a tunnel makes it different. They are both putting facilities in public places to use people as human shields.

CIA or Mossad HQ being a building compound in a city is not the same as building tunnels under hospitals, that's nonsensical and reeks of desperation.

Yes it is if they are both near large amounts of people.

If one is using targeted weapons he can target at ease a building compound within a city without hurting anyone that's not in it. That cannot be said for targeting a tunnel underneath a hospital or even a specific room in a shared building.
 
And somehow, sanman is cheering for the russians in this situation, too.

In the NBA finals, the Thunder are up on the Pacers 3-2. In that contest, sanman is cheering for the russians.
