Israeli military spokesman says attack ‘will have consequences’; Israeli residents told they can leave shelters; Iran says it is ready for any retaliation
For those who missed it, Iran launched a missile attack on Israel, it appears to be over for now, but who knows how long?
The difference being that Israel has been going for escalations much stronger, having attacked Lebanon far more often over the past year than Hezbollah had attacked them and ramping things up with more and more attacks including attacks onto Syria and Iran directly.
Netanyahu needs the escalation to distract from the failure of achieving any strategic goal in Gaza and to drag the US into a war, so as to not finally draw a line to Israels actions.
The same can be said for the entire world for the last 5,000 years. Although most od the world has settled down to historic lows in the recent past, there are multiple external powers that keep destabilizing the Middle East whenever it seems like the cycle might end there.

That’s been their tactic this whole time. Threats and retaliation against the defending nation. I believe this is the third time.with Iran now?
It’s retaliations all the way down…
Always has been.
Israel has two realistic options

escalate, retaliate, and give Iran the same two choices.

Yup. And yet some how rockets are still happily coming in both directions. Same two choices remain.
Lather, rinse, repeat for 5,000 years.
