Israel has tracked Hezbollah in Lebanon for as long as I can remember. Every once in a while the lone article appeared in the news that a truck loaded with munitions was exploded by an Israeli missile in southern Lebanon. So, the conflict has been an ongoing problem. But, continuous conflict in Lebanon is appearing to look like expansionism and not the removal of Hezbollah from Lebanon.
Iran is demanding an end to the hostilities by Israel in Lebanon. For as unpopular as this will be, I think that is correct.
Hezbollah is not the only population in southern Lebanon. There are people called Lebanese now displaced from their homeland. If there is to be a true peace, one that settles the argument of Hormuz and ends the conflict between Trump and Iran, there cannot be another fighting force to pick up where the USA left off.
There is also the issue of religious lineage of the Shi’ite faith. Nasrallah is dead. His neighborhood was destroyed. Israel is not contemplating spiritual genocide, is it?
There are many reasons to end the hostilities. But, it must end even if there was no reason to end it. War becomes murder when it is endless.
