They woke up and started bombing Israel for no apparent reason or they are responding to Israeli attacks ?

You failed to answer my question. Why?

Check out YouTube and see the high rate of ballistic missiles thrown at Israel. Those existed for years, and were developed for this exact purpose. It just so happened they didn't have the nuclear warhead yet.

I repeat the question: are you really asking why a country would be afraid of a regime which is literally raining ballistic missiles over them?

Reducing the Middle East conflict so much makes the entire discussion useless. If you want to point at someone guilty, look at the British who fucked up Palestine big time. Everything since then is a spiral of revenge and spite.
