Iran launches drone attack at Israel, expected to unfold 'over hours', Reuters reports.

.Richard Goldberg: “Tehran is making itself the center of focus...allowing U.S.-Israel political gaps to close more quickly than we might have imagined...The White House has unwisely avoided a deterrence and pressure approach toward Iran for three years”

Analysis from Joe Truzman:

“Six months into the Gaza war, most Israelis have quietly begun to enjoy a respite from sirens and to-shelter orders as missiles fly toward their communities. Now that has been shattered by Iran.”

Israel, meanwhile, needs US support in pressuring Egypt into a new security arrangement along the Gaza border — including an end to tunnel smuggling — and eventually in finalizing evacuation plans for civilians in Rafah ahead of any future ground operation.fdd.org/analysis/2024/…
