It was a small message to the Israelis that there is potential of sneak attack from the rear end where Israel do not expect.

The Israelis also sent a message that they will shoot down aircraft that invade their airspace.

Seems like email would be cheaper and safer.

What about just hitting the delete key?

your point is....

My remark was supposed to be sarcastic.

My point is that Israelis were justified shooting the drone that invaded their airspace. Such a message can not be sent with an email.

Whatever button they pushed, it deleted the drone pretty good.

Looks like an F-16 Fighting Falcon, built right down the road in Fort Worth.

We need to support Israel,
but lets let the rest of that part of the world burn itself to ashes.

and a little "this day in history...
Oct 12, 2000:

At 12:15 p.m. local time, a motorized rubber dinghy loaded with explosives blows a 40-by-40-foot hole in the port side of the USS Cole, a U.S. Navy destroyer that was refueling at Aden, Yemen. Seventeen sailors were killed and 38 wounded in the attack, which was carried out by two suicide terrorists alleged to be members of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network. Six men believed to be involved in the Cole attack were soon arrested in Yemen. Lacking cooperation by Yemeni authorities, the FBI has failed to conclusively link the attack to bin Laden.
In 2002, three bombings in the town of Kuta on the Indonesian island of Bali where the work of militant Islamist terrorists. They left 202 people dead and more than 200 others injured, many with severe burns.
