Overwhelming destructive retaliation to terrorism is the best response. The terrorist is a suicide bomber? Bulldoze his family's house.

A more useful definition of “proportionality” would be “no more or less than what was needed to get the job done”. In that sense, it looks like proportionality has been achieved.

Glad to see Israel is taking care of business.

Iran didn’t think this one all the way through.

The Iranian forces likely fired everything they had operational after the previous Israel strike. Or they fired 20 to see how many would get through, so they could calculate how many of the thousands they have to fire to achieve their aims.
