The consequences of the Iranian response continue to reverberate within the occupation entity, with Israeli media uncovering what the occupation government seeks to conceal regarding the operation's danger to "Israel" and its significance.

Israeli Channel 13 said that no country in the world has ever carried out an attack of as great a magnitude using ballistic missiles as Iran did.

According to the channel's political commentator, Ari Shavit, the concern stems from Iran's acquisition of capabilities akin to those of a superpower.

Shavit observed a shift in the previous hypothesis regarding Iran, suggesting that its policy of strategic patience had shifted. Consequently, he emphasized the need for "Israel" to take highly calculated steps, adding that "Israel" is obligated to solidify the "Western Arab-Israeli alliance" due to the magnitude of the event, which necessitates the unification of all powers involved.

Israeli media highlighted that "the studios exploded from arrogance and conceit," likening "Israel" to "a reckless chess player, brimming with confidence, taking several steps forward, each worse than the last."

These stances serve to underscore an ongoing trend since Iran executed its response to the targeting of its consulate in Damascus. Israeli media and the public confirmed a loss of confidence in the occupation government's capacity to effectively confront the situation and its repercussions following the Israeli attack.

In a report, Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom emphasized that "the nighttime attack from Iran serves as a stark reminder of the erosion of strategic deterrence for both Israel and the United States." Furthermore, the attack "has opened up an opportunity to alter the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East."

The newspaper added, "Iran has placed itself in confrontation with 'Israel', and has acted against the clear US presidential warning not to act." Moreover, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth confirmed that the night of the Iranian response to the targeting of the consulate was a "strategic mockery" for "Israel" and a "strategic failure."

This comes after Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force announced that it targeted Israeli positions in occupied Palestine with dozens of drones and missiles, as part of the retaliatory response to the malicious Israeli crime against the Iranian embassy in Syria. Described as "unprecedented", by a Sky News correspondent, the IRGC's Aerospace Force announced that the operation dubbed "True Promise" was launched in the context of "punishing the criminal Zionist regime."
