Israelis have been rallying around the flag since the attacks began last week, even if not around Netanyahu himself.

The strikes are a sign of Israel’s shift away from restraint, containment and short wars, and toward using force to project power across the Middle East.

The targeting of leaders and sensitive sites relied on activating intelligence teams, pre-positioned weapons and other capabilities that had long lain dormant.
