Israel can hold its own, and it will never take that level of strike laying down.
Further, the Arab world is no fan of an Iran with nukes. Saudi Arabia is a good example of why. Yemen has has skirmishes with it recently. It’s a proxy for
guess who.
The Arab world is no longer a block solidly against Israel.
They all know that the Arabs on the West Bank and in Gaza are impossible
to get along with. They know they are proxies for Iran right now and none of
them trust Iran.

Israel can hold its own in its little sandbox. If it draws in the more powerful non-Arab Muslim states, Israel would get crushed.
The Arab world is no longer a block solidly against Israel.
Again, it is the non-Arab Muslim nations that pose an existential threat to Israel if it ventures outside its little sandbox.
They all know that the Arabs on the West Bank and in Gaza are impossible to get along with.
If they try to push the Arabs out of Gaza, or to eliminate them, Israel may face the wrath of other muslim nations. Israel is just going to have to learn to get along. As long as Israel unlawfully occupies muslim territory, it should expect acts of terrorism.
Gaza and the unlawfully occupied territories are Israel's problem. Nobody seems to like the Palestinians, not even the other Arabs, but that does not mean Israel can do a genocide or a land grab.
Striking out at a muslim diplomatic facility was not a very wise move. If Israel ever alienates an American administration, it may look like Ukraine.
Iran demonstrated it can land old missiles on Israeli military targets. Iran provided lots a drones and/or drone technology to Russia. Presumably Iran got something in return. Russia has demonstrated that its hypersonic missiles defeat the advanced anti-air defense systems. There are unconfirmed reports that Iran has test-fired hypersonic missiles. A nation the size of Israel does not want to start a war and find out its super duper air defense system does not work against what the other guy throws at them. The biggest existential threat of all is Israel irritating Uncle Sugar to the point where it it stops receiving aid or UN vetoes. It is election season and Uncle Sugar does not want another war right now. Israel will bend the knee and behave for a few months. Or not. The U.S. will protect Israel with vetoes. Or not. One only needs to go back to last month to find the U.S. refusing to veto a cease-fire demand at the UN. There was wailing and gnashing of teeth and Netanyahu declaring that, the refusal to veto was “a clear retreat from the consistent U.S. position in the Security Council since the beginning of the war.”
In terms of diplomacy, it communicated a very clear message. BTFO. Having been spanked, Israel made a magical withdrawal from Gaza.
