With Israel’s strikes on the Iranian nuclear sites, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might have played the gamble of his life. Without US involvement, it appears highly improbable for Israel to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities — the main objective of the war.

After striking back on Friday night, Iran launched a new wave of strikes toward Israel on Saturday morning. Now, the two countries continue to exchange deadly missiles and threats, with fatalities and injuries reported on both sides.

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