That's actually a reasonable choice.
Targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, while politically beneficial for Netanyahu, it wouldn't change the situation. It's unlikely that Israel would be able to strike and destroy all nuclear facilities, and even if, it would not affect Iranian warfighting capabilities - they would still be able to retailate with ballistic missiles.
Targeting Iranian oil infrastructure, while attractive for Israel as it would cause internal strife in Iran and limit their revenue streams, it would come at a high political price. Any attack on Iranian energy sector, would immediately push the price of a barrel into triple digits. Bad news for all oil importers including Israel itself, but especially bad for the largest oil importer: China, which is also the largest consumer of Iranian oil - Iran exports around 90% of its oil to China, which represents around 15% of all Chinese imports. Rising oil prices would increase Russian revenue streams, undoing western sanctions. Not to mention that higher fuel prices just weeks before US elections is not something that team Harris/Biden would like to see. So even without any Iranian response, Israel would be facing growing political pressure from both China and America at the same time. And if Iran chose to respond and closed the Strait of Hormuz, we would be facing a global energy crisis which would turn even more countries against Israel.
This leaves Iranian military bases as the most sensible choice. There's a wide selection of targets for the Israelis to choose from - they could go big and attack high value targets such as IRGC HQ or the Iranian missile forces, trying to "defang" their strike capabilities. Or, on the contrary, they could attack some third rate airstrip, knowing that its of little to no value for the Iranians, just to save face.
