1. Wishful thinking
Avi ,   NYC   (08.28.19)
Assuming that Israel’s actions keep Nasrallah guessing is wishful thinking.
Hizbullah and the Iranians are correctly viewing it as the desperate actions of a deteriorating entity.
Israel’s “great” chess skills have managed from 2001 till today to bring Iran all the way from the Eastern border of Iraq to the Eastern best border of Israel. Where will be the next station? Haifa?
The fact that they do not respond to Israel’s insignificant attacks does not mean that they can’t. Why should they expose their capabilities when they can reserve them to the opening hours of the next conflict when could be paying several fold for our killings.
Overall, the Israeli unhinged behavior reminds me of the hubris in the months leading to the ‘73 war.
2. Interesting analysis, but it's wrong
ebolima   (08.28.19)
The Israeli calculus that this will lead to a civil war is wrong. Instead, they are opening themselves up to retaliation using cheap technology that will be difficult and costly to defeat. If opening up Pandora's box is called slapping hzb in the face, then the Israeli populace should not hold their leadership in high regard when the blowback comes.
3. because 17.03.1992, Israeli Embassy, Buenos Aires...
(08.28.19)
I would seriously consider increasing security at ALL Israeli installations abroad.
Because. word. we all know that Nasrallah, et.al., consider Israeli embassies "fair game".
At this time let's do remember Tehilim/Psalms 121 particularly Tehilim/Psalms 121:4
But mostly let's remember what happened in the past could happen again.

4. Oh pleez Nasrallah has been slapping us 4 27 years!
(08.28.19)
Yes 27 years that would be since Prime Minister Shamir had the well placed cojones to blow his predecessor to "Kingdom Come!"
And what has Prime Minister Netanyahu done? Diddly squat!
Netanyahu isn't about security he's only about keeping his fine white self in his chair lording it over us.
I for one am tired of being his cannon fodder! What about you?

Mr Cynic ,   safed cynic house   (08.28.19)
Why do you have to make everything about money / finance ?
6. Bibi is feeling the elections heat, so he suddenly finds the
(08.28.19)
"macho" inside?!
What happened, our PM discovered, that running away is NOT the only option when dealing with Muslim terrorists?
7. Ye ol' Nasrallah
Ardeth Bey ,   US   (08.28.19)
Ol' Nasrallah just took another slap-ding right up the side of the face! Once again, Israel has humiliated this piece of orange dung and there is zero he can do about it other than lock all doors in his vehicle but only when the windows are completely rolled down!
8. According to Nasrallah.....
Yael Schlichting ,   Berlin   (08.28.19)
According to Nasrallah's threat, the jets which bombed the PLFP-GC camp in the Bekaa Valley obviously weren't Israeli Jets, otherwise Hezbollah's superior air-defense would have downed the planes - no doubt, right?
9. RESOLUTION 1701 UNSC AND UNIFIL IS BEST STRATEGY FOR ALL
(08.29.19)
