Reports from Gaza state that 30 Palestinians were killed on Monday in IDF strikes on the city in midst of tensions regarding upcoming operation on the city.
Bloomberg reported Israel's attack on Iran's consulate in Syria, killing Revolutionary Guards' command, prompting Iran to suspect Syria's involvement in previous assassinations.
Analysts noted a general trend within formal circles in the Islamic Republic attempting to minimize the attack and its implications.
Only a few days ago, the IDF Home Front Command lifted basically all restrictions on normal life in Israel, something which suggested that Jerusalem was not that close to striking back.
The IDF was looking for a way to respond to the attack without being dragged into a direct and ongoing confrontation.
The message was unmistakable: 'We chose not to hit your nuclear sites this time, but we could have done worse right here,' sources told the Post.
Iranian media showed a video of what they claimed were quiet scenes around the country, trying to show that very little had actually happened.
