Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

That hole is 50m across and 15m deep lmao
The problem is airfields and airbases are stupidly large targets that can absorb a lot of damage.
Hit the fuel storage or otherwise soft targets and you can cause massive damage. But when it is 70% empty space you need a lot of 50m holes to have the effect you want.
The real win here is not material damage. It is morale. If one missile can get through, 50 can. If a couple dozen flights can be delayed, the whole airport can be shut down indefinately. If any Israelis felt it was safe to fly out of their settler colony, they are rethinking it now.
Patching a 50m hole in a taxiway only takes hours. Convincing British airways that hundreds of millions of dollars of planes are safe after this attack, and they should keep their normal routes in place, much harder.
