Israel and Iran

Absolutely. And yet Iran has to do something to maintain its credibility as a regional power. I suspect it’ll be more symbolic than destructive.
Agree. Their options are somewhat limited if they want to overtly let it be known they've responded.

I suspect the response will be more likely be more asymmetrical/terrorism in nature, increased support for attacks against IDF, etc.
 
That is indeed interesting. I'm not sure how much I agree with it, but it's interesting.

Another thing to consider is whether the Israelis might be thinking that those units might be needed elsewhere, for example along their northern border.

Three sons of Hamas leader Haniyeh killed in Israeli airstrike

CAIRO, April 10 (Reuters) - Three sons of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, the Palestinian Islamist group and Haniyeh's family said.

The Israeli military confirmed carrying out the attack, describing the three sons as operatives in the Hamas armed wing.

The three sons - Hazem, Amir and Mohammad - were killed when the car they were driving in was bombed in Gaza's Al-Shati camp, Hamas said. Four of Haniyeh's grandchildren, three girls and a boy, were also killed in the attack, Hamas said.

Those guys knew they were top-level targets. The only reason they would be traveling together is if they thought they were not targetable.

The reason they thought they were untargetable was probably because they were traveling with a bunch of kids, and they didn't think the Israelis would blow up a bunch of "refugees."
