seems like it was fragments from an interceptor rocket

If the IDF claims that the rocket was intercepted before entering Israeli airspace, then why is shrapnel falling in Israel?

"Whenever there has been public daylight between the United States and Israel and the perception that pressure was growing on Israel, we’ve seen it: Hamas has pulled back from agreeing to a cease-fire and the release of hostages."

-Blinken.

Seemed obvious to all of us from the start, but I haven't heard him acknowledge that until now.

The difference is, he's saying it to say Israel needs to fall in line with the US so there's no daylight between them. We've been saying it to say the US needs to get in the same page as Israel if they want to make any progress and stop pushing alternative agendas.

I don’t think  anyone who knows is telling. It’s either the Iranians fear mongering empty threats, or they’re actually planning something. Anyone’s guess, though they are weak so your money’s safe on the former (especially since it’s been a few hours since the report and nada happened)
