It was most certainly not a major attack per every single report I've read or heard and was also most certainly retaliation against what Israel had done.
I’ve read all the reports. It was a very serious attack. I have a friend with a Master’s in Middle East history from Yale. We were tight in our twenties and part of our thirties. He was offered—at one point—the speechwriting gig for Netanyahu. He does not think Israel is done, nor does he think they should be. If you follow politics, even the left in Israel is calling for retaliation. We’re nowhere near done IMO. I won’t comment about my opinion.
I could be misinformed and/or maybe I'm being fed a narrative.
While expensive, it seemed like this was easily contained, no?
Is it in Israel's best interest to take on all comers at once? I don't think so. If Iran continues, they'll get their turn, but I don't see why Israel should engage them directly any more than necessary right now...and it just doesn't seem necessary.
