'Iran is behind these attacks; it is the largest exporter of terrorism in the world,' Netanyahu says in a meeting of his Likud Knesset faction.

While it is possible that Iran lacks the ability to strike 'prestigious' Israeli targets, it may have chosen Monday's targets so as not to provoke a strong Israeli response.

Tali Yehoshua-Koren, wife of the Defense Ministry's representative to India, was moderately injured outside Israel's embassy in the Indian capital; suspected attack comes with attempted attack in Georgian capital of Tbilisi.

Although the vast majority of settlers are law abiding, the machinations and provocations of Itamar Ben Gvir and his followers make them silent accomplices.

Some security officials, who possess intimate knowledge of the greater picture, fear that former Mossad chief Meir Dagan's comments may undermine the Israeli effort to bring about effective international action against Iran.

Considering the constant turmoil reining in Netanyahu's office and the inability to get even one security agency appointment through without complaints and accusations, it looks like a clear lesson can be derived from the events of the past six months. This involves the need to impose order and oversight in appointment procedures involving candidates for sensitive high-level positions.

Those exposed to outgoing Mossad chief's Meir Dagan's arguments will find it difficult to ignore their logic, and the assertive tone in which they were made.
