Israel is assessing the likely response to their attack on Iran, and how they need to prepare for it. Iran’s most likely response will be through Hamas and Hezbollah with massive missle launches and suicide bombers. Iran itself will use the threat of nuclear attack against Israel’s neighboring allies in an effort to freeze out any support for, and isolate, Israel.

Israel cannot entirely and irretrievably destroy Iran’s ability to fight, nor even their nuclear capability. Iran has the luxury of planning a slow, calculated, lethal proxy war against Israel as a response to attack. But Israel cannot win a slow-bleed conflict like that and will ultimately have to respond massively with their full nuclear capability against Iran and it’s proxies. This will end in a global conflict.
