Maybe IDF intelligence is not so remiss as portrayed.

A bit late for that, I think.

To say that “continued military operations” are a red line is basically giving them an ultimatum to cease hostilities.

As terrorist motivations go, a strong Israeli reaction, and the fallout from it, is the most plausible one.

Specifically derailing the Saudi-Israeli deal.

In that sense, Iran already won.

That’s how I read it as well. I understand also that in the last 12 hours Israeli jets air struck Aleppo airport in Syria. A good thing that the 2nd USN Carrier Group is en route.
This is shaping up to be a multiple party hot one.

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these …

Ah, never mind.

True, by postponing 36 hours they’ll avoid a nasty Russian winter in Gaza City.

Actually I imagine they’re postponing for humanitarian reasons (it’s hard to evacuate 1MM people in a day along two roads) but don’t want to say as much.
