My guess is that he wants to genocide the Palestinians so he deliberately held the Mossad back.
i mean, cutting power and water to millions of civilians, indiscriminately bombing whole building blocks full of women and children, and the dehumanising rhetoric they use, certainly point to very harsh, and certainly disproportionate retaliation. guess it depends on the reaction of the rest of the world if he fully commits to genocide, but it'd be the logical next step, and one of only two ways to end the constant violence (the other, peaceful way, which would be a free and independent palestine, is something he has categorically ruled out many years ago)...
that said, so far it's just speculation that they had concrete intelligence, and that could still turn out to not be true. all i'm saying is i wouldn't be shocked, it surely wouldn't be out of character for netanyahu...
