Success uncertain, but Israelis continue to back ‘heroic’ war with Iran

A poll by the Israel Democracy Institute indicated 93% of Jewish respondents back the attack. Opposition parties, excluding Palestinian parties, have largely united behind the war effort, halting motions of no confidence against the government. Attempts to protest the war have been met with police presence and right-wing counter-protesters, creating an atmosphere of intimidation.
