It has been tradition that terrorists, criminals and any military group grown stronger, an enjoy public sympathy (by similar group or Public in case of military) and more determined after every assassination of one of it’s leaders.
A mistake that Israel failed to learn from and which will likely prove fatal to them.
The Russian President Vladimir Putin knew this matter very well from the beginning, that’s why Ukraine President Vladimir Zelensky and other leaders in Ukraine are still alive and moving around freely. If he had eliminated them, they would have been easily replaced, but they would have been declared heroes and a symbol of resistance, drastically raising the morale of the Ukrainian army.

Another such example is the killing of Iranian General Soleimani by the United States 4 years ago. What did the USA achieve with that murder?
They made him a hero in the region and a symbol of resistance. In parallel, the youth who idolized him drastically joined Hezbollah, Hamas and similar Iranian-backed military groups in the Middle East. Despite his elimination, Iran’s military power and influence in the region has grown dramatically.
Even after four years, Suleimani’s popularity is still growing, and with it, the number of fighters of the military organizations is also growing.
Another example is that Israel has regularly bombed Gaza over the years and targeted Hamas leaders and their close relatives, and what has it achieved?
It succeeded in dramatically increasing the number of Hamas fighters, and made Hamas what it is today.
It has the same effect with the massacre of children in Gaza, where Israel thought it would scare its enemies, but it backfired, it increased the desire to resist to an unprecedented high level.
The Hamas leader who was killed (yesterday) will be easily replaced, but now the population of Lebanon is furious and they have made it easy for Hezbollah.
That is why until now Israel did not dare to attack the leaders of Hamas, who were not hiding in Beirut and were moving freely unlike before.
Likewise, Hezbollah has not carried out a single assassination attempt in Tel Aviv, even though they have the military technology and long range weapons to do so.
This will change things. Seeing how patient Iran has been so far and how precisely it is executing things, I don’t think there will be a sharp response just yet.
The big goal will be pursued with a cool head. If we look back four years since Soleimani’s murder, we can see how Iran did not dare to retaliate then. But if we look today, Israel has a war in its backyard and is losing huge numbers of soldiers daily.
