    I'm not surprised. They can't afford to keep it up. The mobilization was costing Israel something like over $100M per day along with tourism and regular economic activity dropping significantly. I believe they're anticipating their economy to contract by ~15% which is massive. Not to mention, they're flirting with a regional war with the Houthis and Hezbollah.

    My biggest fear is that they'll retreat, get out of the news cycle, and continue a low-grade bombing campaign that's restrained just enough to avoid media attention.
