just for the record, with respect to surveillance AND command & control at street level, the top 2 on the planet are England and Israel
the US is #1 overall at the strategic global level for intel gathering, but for acquiring and processing the type of intel that was actioned in yesterday's strikes, Israel is a clear #1 over England who only matured this capability 3 years after the Good Friday agreement, i.e. as a result of 9/11, so they've never really had to use it domestically
the person who gave the order to fire, 3 times, was looking at an infrared image with millimeter detail on 5 or 6 screens, with angles from multiple directions
israel has better visuals at night when they can deploy sensory platforms at very low altitudes
so, i wonder at whose suggestion this operation was scheduled for the middle of the night?
