He added: “It’s likely for this reason that Israel chose to target an airbase, in response to the successful Iranian hit on the Israel Air Force’s Nevatim base Sunday morning.
“The Regime has already started to signal its disinterest in further escalating by denying Israeli success and minimising the impact of the strike.
“That could seemingly indicate a likely end to the current direct exchange of fire between Iran and Israel.”
Regional tensions have increased since the start of the latest Israel-Hamas war on October 7, when Hamas and Islamic Jihad — two militant groups backed by Iran — carried out a cross-border attack that killed 1,200 people in Israel and kidnapped 250 others.
Israel responded with an offensive in the Gaza Strip that has caused widespread devastation and killed more than 33,900 people, according to local health officials.
