Netanyahu asks IDF to provide 'target options' for Iranian attack - report
According to the report, the targets include an Iranian facility in Tehran or a cyberattack.
In a visit to the Nevatim base on Monday, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi said that the Iranian attack which was carried out early Sunday morning will be met with an Israeli response, according to Israeli media.
I don't really understand a few things about this conflict.
The bombing of the embassy was an escalation. Intentional.
Where you get into theories, is how does Israel benefit from an escalated shooting war? Does it get them international support so that their genocide in Gaza is ignored? Does it get the current incumbent president more time within an emergency context so they don't have to deal with political pressure internally? Fighting external wars to solve internal problems is a traditional tool dictators have fallen upon in the past
Iranian generals often instruct and train Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists, since they're Iranian proxies. Those same groups continously terrorize Israel.
Iran regularly calls for the destruction of Israel, though generally chooses to fight using their proxies rather than directly attacking Israel. Israel also targets Iranian proxies in Syria on the regular. Why they allegedly hit the Iranian embassy this time, nobody knows. Keep in mind that Israel never officially acknowledged that strike as theirs. People simply assume it because of all of the above.
