Israel has proven that it is strong and will defend itself.
It achieved its goal in killing two Iranian generals in its attack in Syria and Iran’s response did minimal damage.
Hence, Israel can afford to restrain itself here, rather than risk a continued spiral to world war.
Please relay this message to your friends in government and in Israel to help it reach Israeli decision-makers.
Update on May 25, 2024:
Although I did not say so specifically, it probably was obvious that I feared a series of escalations. Israel responded but very strategically. This link suggests that Israel may have demonstrated ability to avoid Iran's air defenses, thereby dissuading Iran from further escalations. Israel's response seems reasonable despite my initial blog above.
