Bullet points of Iran may launch ground operation against Israel in Golan Heights — analyst
- Iran may launch an assault on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights in retaliation for the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas' political bureau.
- Iran's options for responding to Tel Aviv include the elimination of senior Israeli politicians and military officers, as well as damaging and destroying critical infrastructure with cyber units.
- Tehran's delayed response may be a deliberate strategy to take Tel Aviv and its allies by surprise and weaken their armies, morale, and supplies.
- Iran has thousands of medium-range cruise missiles and long-range ballistic missiles, and its drones could bypass air defense systems, making it difficult for Israel and its allies to defend themselves.
- The Yemeni rebel Houthi group Ansar Allah and Lebanon's Shiite movement Hezbollah will join the Iranian attack, with the Houthis preparing for the largest attack in the region using hypersonic Fatah-2 missiles.
- The analyst considers the Haifa Port, Israeli Air Force bases, Ben-Gurion International Airport, and factories of Israel's Rafael defense company to be legitimate targets for Iran and its regional allies.

Iran may use non-military ways, such as presenting ceasefire conditions or imposing sanctions on Israel, to retaliate. Iran has limited capacity to carry out a significant attack on Israel and wants to avoid a direct military confrontation with the US, but may collapse if the conflict escalates.
