Parameters of the "response":
1. Must be visibly impressive for both internal and external observers, lots of fireworks. Hanya assassination was the most humiliating thing the regime experienced since Soleymani. The "revenge" needs to be spectacular in appearance to match it.
2. Must do some actual series damage to Israel. To restore - in their minds - the deterrence they lost lately.
3. Must not serious enough to warrant catastrophic Israel response with International legitimacy. Meaning no large scale loss of life, especially amongst civilians.
Taking it all together, several options:
1. High practucal value target - airforce base, gas rig etc.
2. High symbolic value target - the Kirya or Knesset building (Pentagon, Parliament).
3. Hitting residence of Bibi or one of the ministers.
4. Some fireworks in Israel without actual damage + terrorist attack against Jewish/Israeli targets abroad.
IMHO etc.

Hitting Bibi's house, but not killing him, isnt going to cut it.
Iran's capabilities are 'limited' to a mass attack to try and overwhelm israeli and helpers air defense. As israel has had a few months to get ready, it could be even harder for Iran to make much headway. I'd be impressed and pleased if Israel has a manned/volunteer AA gun unit, based on the probable approach routes, using the old AA guns.

There were reports about IDF plans to do exactly that, not sure where it stands.

Only 9 people?! Rubbish...
The UN should be investigating the possiblity that the thousands of terrorists who invaded Israel on 7/10 were radicalised in UNRWA schools. Whether or not facilities used by Hamas for military infrastructure were ever reported to senior ranks of the organisation and if so, why was no action taken against it, and if not then why not. Pretending it's just a few bad applies to save face is bullcrap, especially when assets and locations are used to wage war on Israeli civilians with no pushback or oversight...

Time to defund, recall and stand down or perhaps reformulate UNRWA…. That, or declare the local branches to be terrorist organizations…..

This is kind of the emperor has no clothes observation, which you’d expect be a common wisdom at this point - as formidable the missile arsenal is, no, you cannot fight and win a full scale war with missiles.
Because of this?

If russia is openly supporting iran, how is israel okay with the russian bases in syria? Do you think it would be a good idea for israel to visit the khmeimim air base with a few air-to-surface missiles? Theoretically, if this were to happen, what might be the repercussions between russia and israel?
