This is a major escalation that could greatly expand the war and drag hezbollah deeper into the war, which was already involved in skirmishes with Israel in Lebanese regions that Israel occupies.

Note: the verbiage of the article is minimizing the focus on Israel, and they spend half the article justifying the attack as "not an attack on Israel" an effort to minimize how much of an escalation this is.

Expulsionist sentiment is common in Israeli society and politics. To ignore the warning signs is to abdicate responsibility.

The mistake was [some of us Arabs] assuming they’d ever change if we made peace with them.
