In addition it doesn't help that several military targets are scattered in Tel-Aviv surrounded by civilian infrastructure which acts as a shield for the IDF.

To federalize the Guard without the governor’s consent—especially when the state is actively opposing the move—is an overt escalation and a red flag for potential abuse of federal authority.

The last time National Guard troops were federalized against a governors will was...to ensure desegregation. Guardsmen have been called out to quell large scale civic unrest, the last being 1992 LA Riots, but nothing that happened today comes at all close. www.nationalguard.mil/Portals/31/R...

They've already lost. One Home Depot raid and they had to FEDERALIZE the guard when 100 unarmed neighbors protested? This regime is in trouble. Big trouble.
