• On Monday, mourners in Tehran carried a coffin with a picture of Netanyahu on it. On Tuesday in Kerman, where the burial is to take place (and where dozens have been killed in a stampede), a crowd responded to the army chief’s calls for revenge on whoever is supported by the US with cries of “Death to Israel.”

• In Israel Hayom’s op-ed page, Ofir Bar’el writes that “Israelis should be worried,” given Iran’s cyber capabilities, its partnerships with Russia and upcoming elections here.
• Walla reports that Hezbollah put a large poster of Soleimani and a warning that “The threat continues” near the Lebanese border with Israel, and also attached printed papers with pictures of new Quds Force head Esmail Ghaani on the fence.

• “The group is trying to send a message that the killing of Soleimani will not diminish Hezbollah’s threat against Israel,” Amir Buhbut reports.
