    Downside to this... the killed generals were a known quantity. Any new replacements will possibly have an advantage in that Isn'trael may not know much about them, how they think, how they typically respond to things.

    If Isn'treal was already in an open war with Iran/allies this could give them an advantage. If they were about to begin a multifront war with Iran/allies this could give them an advantage for the initial battles.

    If Isn'treal killed the generals... and then waits a year to do anything militarily, whatever issues with command and control between the various countries/militarizes/governments should probably be handled well enough.

    Not sure about the political pressure by Iranians on their government to retaliate but so far in recent history, westerners/allies killing very popular Iranian generals was unable to push Iran into making a military move so big to throw them off balance.
