The Israelis will probably respond covertly, seeing as US told them not retaliate, that seems to be the general consensus today. They had some trouble with the second wave apparently, couldn't reload launchers fast enough, had to get help from US and Jordan and UK to handle the situation, everyone in the area scrambled the bulk of what they had for aircraft. That'd be a spooky mission. One fella said US used 76 SAM's off one ship, 75 off the other, they hold 96 ea, the two DDG's in the area have to go back to a port to reload tubes, can't do it at sea. Apparently, Iran didn't use all types of missiles that they have, supposedly US shot down 3 of the ballistic missiles, one blew up on launch, one just after, in the first phase. So, now Iran knows about what they need to launch next time, if they do it again, and they pretty much got their timing right on the waves they sent.
