In contrast, determining a red line when it comes to #accuracy is more elusive. 1
Certainly when that "existential threat" does not exist in its classical form. For comparison, #Israel did not launch a pre-emptive strike against the threat of tunnels from #Gaza (until it saw terrorists exiting a tunnel near Kibbutz Sufa and launched Operation Eitan),

nor a pre-emptive war on Palestinian terror, despite hundreds of deaths (until Seder attack). Protective wall).#Israel refrained from launching a similar counterattack on another strategic threat - the enormous amount of #chemical weapons that #Syria held until the Civil War. 3

The bomb that went off outside the #Israeli embassy on Jan 29 was not a crude device. Investigators have found that it was triggered by a local module using a remote & could have been put together using the deadly PETN or ANFO.
India’s central counterterrorism agencies have drawn up a list of suspects, with their investigations concluding that the #Iranian Quds force was behind the terror plot but that the bomb was planted by a local Indian Shia module, according to people aware of the developments.
#Syrian opposition elements have in recent days revealed a new personality in the #Hezbollah organization that is responsible for its activities across the border. The personality in question is referred to as #Javad_Hashem, although his real name is Ahmad Hashem.
He serves as an adviser to the commander of the 90th Brigade in the Syrian army and is responsible for the training of #Assad's forces in the area - whether it be observations, artillery and the air force. The Central Command of #Iran and #Hezbollah in southern Syria
The same Syrian opposition figures claim that a year ago, #Ahmad_Hashem was responsible for bringing snipers into one of the Syrian army's positions to carry out an attack against 🇮🇱IDF forces. The operation was then exposed and their vehicle was attacked by a missile.
Six oil industry sources and Refinitiv data reported that #Iran has secretly shipped record quantities of crude oil to #China, its largest oil buyer in recent months, alao #Indian state refiners have added quantities of Iranian oil to their annual import plans, presumably.

The latest name given by experts to this war, in publications and exercises, is "First Northern War" - assuming the war does not remain #Lebanese. #Syria (and possibly #Iraq) as well: 2
Syria itself may act against Israel to retaliate against Iran and Hezbollah for the generous assistance it provided during the civil war, and missile rockets may be fired from #Shiite militias from Iraq, and perhaps even by the #Houthis in Iran. 3
