Can a war in the Middle East be averted? | Inside Story

Hezbollah is still reeling from the killing of its longtime leader Hassan Nasrallah.
As the group is mourning his death and weighing its options, Israel has carried out more strikes, killing another of Hezbollah's top leaders.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu argues the assassination of Nasrallah will reshape the balance of power in the Middle East.
And he has warned Iran, Hezbollah's main supporter, that Israel’s military can strike anywhere in the region that it needs.
Tehran has vowed retaliation, saying Israel will regret its actions.
But beyond words, what does this mean for an already volatile region?

So Lebanon is playing a victim card as usual when they (Hizballah controls Lebanon) fired rockets into Israel since October 8, 2023? Were they expecting no reaction from Israel? For real? AJ plays into the Lebanon victim card.. haha

Hello 🖐️ jems sir

[@StandinOnBuniss]

Israel will not step foot on lebanese soil ever again but they will continue to strike the country from the air as much as they want. Not much the resistance can do at this point.
