Inside Beirut, many Lebanese travel back this time Tuesday night. They returned to the torrid night July 2006 when the south of the Lebanese capital was exhausted under the Israeli bombardment and the rest of the city went on with its life. Last night, something similar happened. An Israeli drone hit the al Rabiaa house in the southern region of Haret Hreik and destroyed the life of two women and two children. The reason was Fuad Shokurnumber two of Lebanon’s third-party militia Hezbollah. An hour later, the Israeli army arrived Tehrankilling the political leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh. Now, like 18 years ago, many Lebanese are afraid that a regional war will take place in their home.

After the bombing of the Lebanese capital, Israeli aircraft have continued to attack the south city of the country of cedar trees, on the border divided between rivals.

While the world was already looking the other way, frightened by the assassination of the political leader of Hamas in Tehran, Lebanon, now as a whole, the fears became a major scenario of regional warfare that seems to be coming. “The Israeli attack on the south side of Beirut was a an attack on all of Lebanon and its residents,” he said.

Tuesday’s episode again highlighted the inconsistency superiority in terms of intelligence of the Israelis who have the ability to actually target their targets that violate the Lebanese airspace. Now, Hezbollah has no choice but to respond. “If they target Beirut, we will aim for Tel Aviv“, many commanders of the group have noticed Western diplomats in recent days. The Shiites have made it clear that they do not want an all-out war, so the answer may be a large scale but it is contained. Now, All eyes are on Iran.
