Israel has taken the gloves off and sent in the exterminators, and the rats are running for cover. One of the rats is Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has reportedly been moved to a "secure location" within Iran:
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been transferred to a secure location somewhere within the country, according to Reuters. The outlet reported that Iran is in “constant contact” with Lebanon’s Hezbollah and other proxy groups to determine next steps.
Khamenei’s movement comes hours after he urged Muslims in the region “to stand by the people of Lebanon and the proud Hezbollah with whatever means they have and assist them in confronting the … wicked regime [of Israel].”
“The fate of this region will be determined by the forces of resistance, with Hezbollah at the forefront,” the leader added, according to state media reports.
One wonders if the Ayatollah took his pager with him to the "secure location." As for the "proud Hezbollah," that organization was just decapitated with the death of Hassan Nasrallah, only days after some of the most interesting operations in recent history, which operations included exploding electronics:
The strike on Friday targeted Hezbollah’s “central headquarters,” which was located “under residential buildings in the heart” of Dahiyeh, in Beirut, according to an Israeli military spokesman. Videos circulated online of the destruction the airstrike caused, hours before word of Nasrallah’s death was confirmed.
Israel clearly isn't playing around anymore; Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told the UN as much, and the IDF is certainly upping its game:

Now, with all that said: It seems unlikely that Israel will strike at Iran's Supreme Leader personally, for several reasons.
First: Even for Israel's vaunted intelligence apparatus, it wouldn't be an easy task to locate the Ayatollah, especially now that he has been moved to this "secure location." That location, we should note, may well be deep underground.
Second: Striking deep into Iran would be a major logistical headache. This would require IDF aircraft to overfly unfriendly airspace, not to mention Iranian airspace itself. While Iran's air force isn't exactly state-of-the-art, it does have air-defense systems like the Bavar-373 missile system, which is not to be sneezed at. Any Israeli strike deep into Iran is certain to incur losses - and an Israeli pilot ejecting over Iran is unlikely to receive good treatment on the ground.
Third: Striking directly at Iran's secular and religious leader may represent an escalation that even Israel isn't anxious to take on.
But there's an upside, one that may make such a direct strike unnecessary. Israel has clearly made an impression on Iran, even without any direct strike at the Islamic Republic's leader. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been un-aliving Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists in big carload lots even before the pager-go-BOOM operation. Now the IDF has permanently revoked the birth certificate of Hezbollah's leader, and in so doing not only removed a nasty piece of work from the game but also demonstrated their ability to locate and remove major players in both of the Iran-backed jihadi groups.
Now, even Iran's Supreme Leader has joined the legions of rats scurrying for cover. That's a good thing in itself.

be cool if they hit the peanut farmers house
Why would they worry?
It only can happen if Allah wills it.
Are they hiding from Allah’s will? Isn’t that futile?
Haven’t recent assassinations taught them yet that there are no safe spaces when the Mossad is involved?
I hope that, despite his haste to relocate, he remembered to take his new beeper with him.
Besides, I thought the big thing was to die a martyr’s death for Allah.
Oh, wait.....
That’s for the other guy to do. That’s right.
The elitists are no different ANYWHERE in the world. Human life has no value except for their own. Others are just a commodity to use and then throw away like an old shoe once the gullible brainwashed masses have done their bidding.
“”Others are just a commodity””
What a perfect way to tell the truth. Whether they are Islamofascistnazis, Marxists, Maoists, democRATS, demoKKKrats, or any other tyrant, people are commodities to be moved, used, used up, or simply eliminated.
Kham en eggs is about to get scrambled?
Ah, the ol’ Brandon basement strategy. Could find Ali on a beach somewhere.
Be nice to see him vaporized...
Ayatollah coward. Fitting from a fake cult.
