There is nothing easy about the wholly justified Israeli raids on Iranian targets in Syria. And Iran has capabilities (&dangerous proxies). But the *seeming* ease of Israel repeatedly disrupting &destroying major Iranian investments in Syria must be utterly humiliating in Tehran.

They are humiliating, so Iran's incentive to strike back is growing by the day. The question is this: Is Netanyahu simply trying to prevent an Iranian base next door, or does he see a golden opportunity to draw a clueless Trump (the un-Obama) into a broader conflict with Iran?

It's not either/or. And there's good reason to suspect elements of both. Saudis and Emeratis seem to be trying to manipulate Trump into a broader conflict with Iran too.
