For nearly a month, people in Lebanon and Israel braced for a wider war. A deadly rocket strike from Lebanon last month on the town of Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights was followed by an Israeli retaliatory strike that killed Hezbollah’s top commander in southern Beirut.
It’s been like that for decades. It’s the quintessential “saving face” bullshit. Every attack is just performative violence to show the own supporters/population that you are actually strong, proud and won’t ever let anybody push you around!
Absolutely pathetic.
