Second wave has been underway for a while now - including attacks on oil refineries.
Remember that the IAF has a much bigger fighter force than the RAF - it has an estimated 45 x F-35! + 66 x F-15I/A/C + 174 F-16I/C in service at present with outstanding orders for 30 more F-35I and 25 x F-15IA (Israeli specific F-15EX).
Their tanker aircraft are going to working overtime to meet the needs of multiple days of sorties back and forth.
