Israeli media outlets, like settlers, have been preoccupied with the nature and possibilities of the Iranian response to the attack on the consular section of Iran's embassy to Syria. 

Ynet, an Israeli news website, has paid particular attention to the ongoing developments, publishing several articles on the issue, one of which stated that Iranian officials are having "fun", as they make "Israel" "exhaustingly wait for a response," which is depleting its resources. 

The attack on the consulate was executed on April 1, so Israeli occupation forces, the health sector, and other agencies have been put on high alert for eleven days, awaiting the Iranian response. 

On the other hand, Iranian officials, specifically the country's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) have been tasked with responding to the malicious attack that resulted in the martyrdom of seven IRGC officers, including martyr Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi. Reportedly, Iran has also made preparations, anticipating an Israeli aggression on Iran after the response.

On the Israeli news website's subscription-based page, Ynet said that Israeli officials thought that Tehran would break its use of "conventional methods" in its response to the assassination of martyr Zahedi. However, they now admit that the notion was an "embarrassing assessment".

Noting that the assassination of many Iranian officers in recent years did not prompt Iran to rush into a response, Ynet's Nadav Eyal affirmed that "Iran does not rush to respond to these assassinations because [maintaining its long-term military] strategy is more important to it."

Eyal said that the United States is working on forcing Iran out of the possibility of responding to Israeli aggression, adding that he is unsure if these attempts will succeed. 

Citing an unnamed Israeli security official, Eyal said that Israeli officials are less focused on the ongoing war on Gaza and are preparing primarily for the possibilities of an Iranian response. 

On his part, Itay Blumental, Israeli broadcaster Kan's military affairs commentator, said that the Iranians may launch an attack today, which would include an array of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and attack drones. 

Encapsulating the state of disarray within Israeli circles regarding the nature and timing of the response, Blumenthal said, "[They may launch an attack today], maybe, maybe not, no one knows how and when, the Iranians may break conventional methods, maybe not."
