Yesterday we wrote about Israel striking back at Iran after Iran sent hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel. Today comes the information that the Israeli response was much smaller than the provocation.
The latest news is that the response may be spaced over several days and deal with a variety of targets. Doing it this way forgoes the "shock and awe" impact the Iran attack had, but keeping Iranian assets on edge against an attack that may or may not come on any particular day may be more demoralizing.
One thing is clear. Having been attacked directly by Iran with no proxy to hide behind, a red line was definitely crossed. Now Israel is freed up to directly attack whatever target in Iran seems fruitful, whenever it chooses. There’s no denying a state of war exists between the two nations, the former fig leaf is gone.
