The Israeli intelligence community's updated assessment is that Iran is poised to attack Israel directly in retaliation for the assassination of Hamas' political leader in Tehran and is likely to do it within days, two sources with direct knowledge of the issue told Axios.

If they stop fighting a war started by Hamas, then Hamas attacks, as they promise, again and again
If they keep fighting and kill Hamas, then Iran and Yemen and Lebanon all attack
We also should not forget the that it was the UN that set up a state for Israel, Israel accepted, and then was promptly attacked by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Not much has changed in 75 years.

And perhaps if their enablers stopped looking the other way while they commit slow genocide against their neighbours?
