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.
Israel has two realistic options
de escalate, don’t retaliate and watch them keep going.
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.
