    knowing it would pull the attention of the US away from its war with Ukraine.

    Nah, the US isn’t directly involved in Ukraine and it won’t be directly involved in Israel either so it doesn’t diminish our attention or our capability. The US Military is currently setup to handle our direct participation in multiple regional conflicts simultaneously so a couple of proxy wars isn’t taxing in any meaningful way.

    Frankly all this will likely do is force a pile of squabbling US politicians to get their shit together and focus. Oh, and if they can prove that Russia was involved in an attack on Israel, even tangentially, then the US is probably going to hand Ukraine the Hammer of Thor and tell 'em to go nuts.
