Israel will not allow this to stand, but how it goes about demolishing it is significant. It can eliminate another general in Syria & go back to business as usual. Or it can respond in Iran proper. Either way, this equation will not stand. Escalation dominance is Israel’s.

@FirasMaksad It's hard for me to see how Israel doesn't respond in a significant way. But precise red line Iranians are now trying to lay down is that it can't go back to this old status-quo, including in #Syria. Can they enforce it? 👇 x.com/IranWonk/statu…

@FirasMaksad "business as usual" is a win for Israel, with less worries about retaliation. The old rules of engagement is like a gentleman's agreement between enemies; enemies so it seems!
