“state-owned Iranian news network Al-Alam citing “well informed sources,” said the attack was in response to a reported Israeli strike in Syria that killed “two resistance men” last week. “
I don’t think the IRI did this because just 2 ordinary “resistance men” were killed. Must have been more, or someone or something more significant.
The Israelis killed a Hezbollah leader and his senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard director last week.
The Israeli pin prick attacks in Syria are designed to provoke an Iranian response.
The Israeli hope is that the Iranian response will be so big that it can used against Iran in the court of world public opinion.
One can argue if Netanyahu were still in charge in Israel would shoot back right now and I think they would for sure if he was still around as PM.
The smart response from Israel would be one done at a time of Israel’s choosing not an angry response to Iran’s provcation.
