U.S. officials expect a possible Israeli response to Iran’s attack over the weekend to be limited in scope and most likely involve strikes against Iranian military forces and Iranian-backed proxies outside Iran, four U.S. officials told NBC News.     

The U.S. assessment is based on conversations between U.S. and Israeli officials that happened before Iran fired more than 300 drones and missiles at Israel on Saturday night.

As Israel was preparing for a possible Iranian attack last week, Israeli officials briefed U.S. officials about possible response options, the U.S. officials said.

The U.S. officials stressed that they have not been briefed on Israel’s final decision about how it will respond and that the options could have changed since the weekend attack. They also said that it is not clear when an Israeli response will happen but that it could happen at any time.

Pure guesswork!  If I were the powers that be in Israel, I wouldn't trust sensitive information with the US any more than I would trust it with the Ayatollahs of Iran.  I have to believe that is where we stand with Israel at present. :pondering:

Did they expect Netanyahu to bomb an Iranian consulate in Damascus?

They are using a broken Magic 8-Ball.

True
American Government and the American Government Bureaucracy is infested with radical Muslims and radical Leftist Hamas supporters. (thank you Obama Hussein). That is what happened in Afghanistan.

Anything Israel tells America, is the same as broadcasting to Iran.
Which could be a good thing, if it is used in the right way.

Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy, is also my enemy.
Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
