    What does the headline mean with “counterattack”? Iran wouldn’t have attacked if Israel didn’t bomb their consulate in Syria. Why is Israel painted as the victim here?

      It should be a crime to still be using that phrase, but in this case it doesn’t even make sense. What “stupid prizes” did Israel win? The recent strike in Syria killed a high ranking IRGC general and Iran’s retaliatory efforts were mostly intercepted, with the only Israeli casualty as of now is an injured 10 year old girl.

        What “stupid prizes” did Israel win?
