So now what happens? Does the US get drawn into a war with Iran over this?
I am amazed at their chosen technology. They make a solid rocket launch, that has been seen on literally thousands of videos, to produce billowing smoke and a stream of hot propellant leading upwards from the ground, to instead look like a fragmentation warhead explosion with a dome shaped shockwave profile.
Apparently Iran gave another courtesy warning before the attack ...
Tehran had informed Russia ahead of missile attacks on Israel, senior Iranian official tells Reuters
U.S. was alerted by Iran through diplomatic channels 'shortly before the attacks', the official said.

I think it's escalation management.Why do they warn of the attacks before hand? Do they do that to prevent a response from the US?
There is a claim going around that several missiles were fired at the Netzarim corridor in Gaza, where the IDF keeps several parking lots.Wonder if Iran hit any of those armour parking lots Israel assembled on the Lebanon boarder. That, and airbases would be some of the most obvious and juicy targets.
