Security officials believe that the Chief of Staff should have expected that Tehran would not be able to contain an attack on such a high-ranking official. According to them, it is possible that the consideration of the scope of the response could have influenced the willingness to approve elimination of the targets.
In the meantime, opinions in the defense system are divided in regards to the broad Iranian attack on a historic scale on the Israeli home front. There is a lot of resentment within the military system that entire formations, wings and arms bear a complex and heavy burden. For example, the technology and logistics division that was required to disperse military capabilities in preparation for the attack and assist the Air Force units in short schedules did not receive the credit and the words of praise. One of the sources said that one should not be ashamed of the defense achievements of the active defense systems in cooperation with the US army and other foreign armies. The source said that Iran is no longer hiding behind emissaries, but is carrying out the attacks itself.
