No they don’t, Iran wanted the war because Israeli relations with other influential Arab states, via the Abraham accords and other bi-lateral agreements, were becoming normalised.
Saudi Arabia was about to join in with these states.
Israel’s government had relaxed its vigilance (something it would live to regret)
Iran funds Hamas, Hezbollah and probably several other jihadist groups.

All of which are circumstances Israel are denying the Palestinian population of Gaza as they rain down bombs on civilian areas, destroy it’s civilian infrastructure, it’s mosques, it’s hospitals, it’s universities and everything a society is built upon.

It’s very sad, Israel would argue that it’s unfortunate collateral damage and casualties of war. Civilian casualties, destruction of civilian infrastructure is a consequence of every war that’s ever been fought. I don’t understand why everyone thinks this one should/will be any different.
