23 Aug 2023, Jerusalem: Israel’s government recognizes that Iran funding and directives are behind the Palestinian acts of terrorism against Jews in Israel. Israel has recently attacked Iranian outposts in war-torn Syria. Iran apparently seeks to take advantage of the problems in Syria, and fill the void there with military bases from which to launch kinetic attacks at Israel.
Iran’s goals have been thwarted somewhat by Israel’s secret incursions into Syria to attack the Iranian bases there. Iran’s response: mobilize Palestinians with finances and funding to attack Jewish civilians.
Israel’s response: Continue to call attention to Iran’s actions and backing of terrorists.
