"Israel's Strategic Response to Iran's Missile Barrage: A Test of Strength"

However, there are concerns about escalating the regional security situation and fears of a wider regional war. Israeli officials are mindful of these concerns and are seeking a response that sends a message without causing casualties, while also leveraging the emerging alliance against Iran.
