Israeli sources say Iran made a deliberate decision last night to allocate some of its ballistic missile launches toward civilian areas in Israel, possibly under the direction of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. According to these sources, there is concern that Iranians may want to expand these attacks in the coming days and focus them on the civilian population. "If they do so, the consequences will be severe for the Islamic Republic," the sources said, adding: "The operation's goal is not to topple the ayatollahs' regime - but the situation can change rapidly."
