Reply To: The open miracles of the Iranian bombardment and the war in Gaza

Mdd1, every system takes 20 years to develop. The article is still relevant on the theory. The “Understanding war” post i posted is from Sunday, and is very relevant. Ditto the quote from an unnamed Biden staffer who said that Shabbos’s success is unlikely to be replicated. I am still waiting for a cogent explanation on how the US, against the same Arabs in an urban war zone, got a death rate 10x higher than Israel if not for a neis. Conventional wars are not nissim, though they are Yad Hashem. It’s when you see something very much unexpected that you are supposed to stop and think about it, and praise Hashem. And we have that here.
In fact, conventional wars show us what is expected and unexpected. Fallujah showed us conventional teva in urban warfare. the Russia vs Ukraine showed us teva in blocking ballistic missiles.
Even Iron Dome, which is against slower, more easily tracked targets, only has a success rate of 90%. 99% vs ballistic missiles which are much harder to track and hit?

Iron Dome
This system, developed by Israel with U.S. backing, specializes in shooting down short-range rockets. It has intercepted thousands of rockets since it was activated early last decade – including thousands of interceptions during the current war against Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel says it has a success rate of over 90%.

Reb Moshe Feinstein zt”l wrote that 1967 was an example of nissim in our time. The Brisker Rav zt”l said that 1948 was a neis. And he should know- he lived through the bombardment. So yes, miracles in Eretz Yisroel are miracles according to litvish mesorah.
