Isn't that what I just said?

It may be more likely for Iran to respond via proxy to avoid a direct counter attack if Iran used long-range missiles.

Kinda makes more sense as Gaza is the one who strarted the rocket attacks.

This is where the dysfunction of the situation muddies the water. A Gazan would argue that the Israeli blockades have killed their economy and they have a right to defend themselves.

With these protracted engagements it's hard to tell where individual elements really begin and end.
