Yeah but they have no depth of defense. They are a city state. You can overrun them in 4 hours if they make one mistake/one part of their military defense line fails. And they are not capable of defending the actual city. Too dependent on shipments. Plus their huge concentration of wealth (typical for a city state) means that even the slightest blunder/explosion could take out several percent of their gdp easily. And they have a very high number of terror targets...
