sat coverage is much better now that in the early 60s. We've got birds over that area 24/7. We're friends, those assets could be leveraged by Israel if only for the asking.
As far as I can see, there is zero reason for the continued bombing of the airport. The only thing that is doing is keeping foreign nationals from getting out..it does nothing to keep the bad guys from getting in.
Noone argues Israel's right to defense. THIS, however, is looking to me like they are over-reacting just a bit or, at least, handling the situation very poorly.
