Two Navy Destroyers Helped Defend Israel Against Iranian Missile Barrage

Two U.S. Navy destroyers helped defend Israel against a ballistic missile attack by Iran on Tuesday that threatened to plunge the region into a wider conflict, U.S. officials confirmed.

The USS Bulkeley and USS Cole fired "approximately a dozen interceptors against the incoming Iranian missiles," which were captured on video streaking across the night sky above Israel, according to Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, who publicly briefed reporters.

 
The two ships were part of the effort to thwart an attack that officials described as nearly twice the size of Iran's earlier missile barrage on Israel in April. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the result was that the latest attack was effectively defeated, describing it as "ineffective" at a briefing Tuesday.

How ironic the USS Cole should be one of the ships! :yowsa:

So they fired 12 Standard missiles against 181 incoming Iranian ballistic missiles...something seems off with the math here.

Maybe the Israelis defeated a significant number of missiles as well.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Did I miss something?  Story doesn't say the missiles hit their targets.
