If Halevi is dead it's a crushing blow to IDF morale, which was already low because many of the soldiers have businesses that are dying or have already died, and there's no end in sight to Bibi's multi-front war. Even if Halevi was only wounded it's still a severe blow because this was a precision attack deep into Israel, striking an elite brigade. Roughly 100 casualties, 10 severely wounded, 4 confirmed dead.
It was a very sophisticated drone which fired 1 or 2 rockets before dropping down and exploding. Fire cheap rockets and launch cheap drones to overwhelm the air defenses and the good stuff can strike any target in Israel. I think it will be a fair bit of time before a countermeasure can be developed, and time is something Israel is running out of. If they use nuclear weapons the likelihood if high that the state of Israel will no longer exist. The military will, but not the state. Bibi may not care at this point because he's going to prison if he loses power.
