My Comment: Another Israel - Hezbollah will be a welcome distraction supported by many of the regions tyrants .... Gaddafi of Libya, Assad of Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, and the mullahs in Iran being the principle ones who will benefit from this change of focus from their behavior to that of a new war. And it is because of this need to change the narrative, that Hezbollah is now being pushed to start such a conflict .... a conflict that the Israelis themselves are more than eager to get embroiled into without any reservations.
What is my prediction .... I do not expect war, but if war breaks out the destruction that it will cause in Israel will be severe, and in response the Israelis will unleash a level of destruction on Lebanon not seen since the Israeli invasion of 1982.
