Folks?
There WILL be some sort of Israeli response to the Iranian attack two days ago….
Biden telling Israel they did a ‘Good Job’ in stopping the effects of the attack is fine….
BUT?
That a American President does NOT want a escalation is also is NOT the main worry for the Netanyhu Government…..
Israel to NOT get involved in a widespread conflict/war probably IS…
Oh?
The US House Speaker has announced that a Congressional Foreign Aid bill in the next week…..
Israeli President Isaac Herzog said Sunday that Israel is not “seeking war” with Iran after the country launched an attack of more than 300 rockets on Saturday evening, but that the barrage “has to be met accordingly,” vowing a response.
Iran and its proxies in Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen launched about 350 rockets, including more than 100 ballistic missiles, toward Israel on Saturday in response to an Israeli strike on Iranian military leaders at a diplomatic complex in Syria last week.
About 99 percent of the missiles were intercepted, the Israeli military said, with the country only suffering limited damage to some military complexes. President Biden has since warned Israel not to retaliate against Iran, as fears rise over a wider regional war in the Middle East.
“This was a very aggressive and brutal attack, which looks like a declaration of war,” Herzog said in a CNN interview Sunday. “But I also added immediately to say that we are not seeking war. We are seeking always peace.”
Herzog argued that Saturday’s attacks were part of a wider effort by Iran against Israel, positioning any future Israeli response as a defensive action….

Members of the Israeli war Cabinet have vowed retaliation against Iran for the missile and drone launches, despite urging from the Biden administration.
White House national security spokesperson John Kirby avoided going into details Sunday when questioned about Biden’s pressure on the Israeli government, following reports that Biden attempted to persuade Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against retaliation.
Kirby instead focused on what he called Israel’s “success.”…..
The Iranian April 13 missile-drone attack on Israel was very likely intended to cause significant damage below the threshold that would trigger a massive Israeli response. The attack was designed to succeed, not to fail. The strike package was modeled on those the Russians have used repeatedly against Ukraine to great effect. The attack caused more limited damage than intended likely because the Iranians underestimated the tremendous advantages Israel has in defending against such strikes compared with Ukraine. The Iranians will learn lessons from this strike and work to improve their abilities to penetrate Israeli defenses over time as the Russians have done in repeated strike series against Ukraine.

Israel’s vaunted missile defense systems ramped up to engage the munitions as they were launched from Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. But they were flanked by U.S. and British fighter jets, a Patriot missile defense system manned by U.S. troops in Iraq and U.S. destroyers off the coast of Israel, each ready to assist….

Patriot missile production should be going to 24/7 for the US and other nations….
