I think the goal is to provoke a war with Iran. Netanyahu just got back from US where he presumably got the green light for it.

Would make sense, sadly. We will see.

That sounds like a terrible decision to make considering 50% of Israelis live in the 30 most populated cities, cities which are all clustered together and very bombable... then again, I don't think jets from the late 70s would fare well against Israel's very modern air defenses. An ancient F-14 or a MiG-29 would probably spontaneously collapse at the sight of a Patriot SAM operated by Israel.

What gave you the idea that Netanyahu cares about Israelis?

Iran already defeated said defences pretty easily with not even their best missiles just few months ago.
