I'm not Jewish or even a fan of Israel, but I think "you‘d have to engage in very motivated reasoning" to not get that this war started a long time ago.
The recent hostilities are just one small part of it. Everyone shares some of the blame. And Iran has sponsored many attacks on Israel.

"A little naughty"??
Iran sponsored the killing of thousands of Israelis (and attempts to kill many more), even if they never had the courage to carry out the attacks themselves.
