Over-shadowed by Israel's war to eliminate Hamas is a nearly year-long rocket barrage from Hez that forced Israel to evacuate thousands of civilian citizens from the area near Lebanon. Operations Grim Beeper and Stalkie-Walkie are part of Israel's FAFO response. This drone-launched missile attack on a leadership council meeting is another. So far, these three attacks have been narrowly focused against leadership and active thug-operatives.
It is possible that a purpose in decapitating Hez leadership is to hinder/prevent Hez participation in an upcoming Iranian attack, but it is responsive to Hez's nearly year-long campaign to tie up IDF forces that could otherwise participate in Israel's war to eliminate Hamas.
