War and Peace?
The ongoing war between Hezbollah and Israel is turning up dead/wounded civilians left and right. There's tremendous controversy as to how much firepower Israel should be using against Hezbollah, especially as this terrorist group is based within mostly civilian areas in Lebanon.
Israel should target terrorist groups, and unfortunately civilians will be killed if they are caught in the crossfire. I realize also that Hezbollah was not using the Beirut Airport to transfer arms and money, does use hoax tactics to get around, and probably did use civilian cover to get away from tight spaces (especially the leaders) but the massive intelligence from Israel and the U.S would know more than that; or at least I hope they do. Why else would Israel target a row of ambulances?
Will Iran be sucked into this? I have to say they will, especially with all the dirty things going on within the system and outside it. Everyone in the leadership is responsible for the internal corruption that has been going on in Lebanon, keeping them from functioning properly as a sovereign state, and Syria has no less responsibility.
I can guess which terrorist group Claudia Rosett was mentioning when talking about terrorist tactics:
"hiding as pregnant women"
