⋯ Halevi's position ultimately prevailed as the recommendation to take at the security cabinet meeting.
The security chiefs told the ministers that a wider response against Hezbullah would likely result in the organization launching precision missiles toward Israeli cities, which could escalate into a war.
A key goal of the response was to avoid a violent clash with Hezbullah in Lebanon and to keep Hamas fronts in both places from uniting, according to two Israeli officials.

Nothing is obvious about the decision making ongoing in Hezbullah, if they intend to strike empty lands in Israel or not.
Not striking would be against their promise, but avoiding might be a calculated de-escalation considering the event started as a big escalation from Lebanon.
In the last incident of this nature, back in 2021, a few rockets were fired from Lebanon followed by an Israeli retaliation the same night on empty roads.
The next morning Hezbullah fired 20 rockets at empty lands in Israel.

Correction over an earlier incident:
The mother did not die, unlike her two daughters (of British-Israeli citizenships). This was confirmed by a spokesperson for the British Foreign Office.
Many accounts mistakenly reported it.
