 Deliberate killings of a bunch of civilians is dramatically escalatory. This also comes as part of a broader campaign by Iran to establish supremacy in the region. 
 This has always been the case. Nothing new apart from the fact that Israel was taken by surprise which is a dramatic mistake from their intelligence services and mainstream media loves this. Civilians are killed on both sides frequently but that never makes the news.
