I think a big part of "why now" is that the decades of propaganda painting Israel as the "good guys" of the region have really frayed. I believe that this was basically the last-ditch effort by Israel to meet it's most desired strategic objectives before it loses its remaining political cover. There may have been more pushback from a less incompetent military under Harris, but I'm not at all confident that she wouldn't have been sold on it anyway.
