Maybe. But they took quite a beating for Assad during the Syrian Civil War. Maybe that's why they're laying low for a while.

Iran has a long tradition of fighting to the last Arab to achieve their goals. I would not be surprised if they, if not directly behind this (Hamas hardly needs justification to kill Israelis), they facilitated it is some way shape or form.
They wouldn’t care if Hamas succeeded, just that Israel is hurt. They would be prepared to have Hezbollah strike as well, if they thought there was advantage to do so. If Arabs die, Iran is willing to pay that price.
