The Israeli military ordered an investigation into what went wrong, as strikes on two towns close to a nuclear site underlined Iran's continued ability to hit back.
How often is it that people demand reforms versus become galvanized in support of ‘their team’?
‘Rally behind the flag’ is the usual popular reaction, where any calls for reform that might have happened become completely unacceptable in popular culture.
Considering what was already happening to Gaza and Palestine, plus the egging on of the USA into war against Iran, I think Israel was already fully galvanized to make war. Israel up to this point has suffered no consequences for their actions, so there wasn’t real pressure to change things. Plus, they were taking territory from others and were enriching their populations - which is pretty popularizing by default.
Iran, on the other hand, wasn’t gaining new territories to grease the palms of their citizens. That gave much stronger incentives for their population to be opposed to their leadership, up until they got bombed by “freedom”.
I’m not saying whether or not an attack is justified or effective. Just saying that of the outcomes to expect, you can’t expect that popular opinion would turn as a result, except maybe to make any critics that may have had a voice suddenly not even be acceptable to speak.
Like whatever understanding one could have possibly have imagined from Iranians against the regime was pretty much gone when the US killed the kids in school.

Different nations, different circumstances.
