#2 Its too bad there isn't a neighboring country we would be able to launch operations from.

Besides, are we going to shoot down a, uhem, passenger plane with commercial markings?

What happens when Russia or Iran says its, uhem, advisors got zapped (whether it really happened or not)?

Gonna park a fleet off the coast of Syria/Cyprus, is it going to hinder Israel's resource development? And talk about a PR move, what happens if the paleos do another blockade run, gonna stop them?

What happens if an aircraft crew goes down, going to go them, and then what?
