Should the escaltion include more Syrian/Iranian troops and ordinance we shall be back in the same situation as 1973 (Yom Kippur War).
It is "well Known" that nuclear loaded aircraft were in the air waiting for a deploy order should the Arabs have crossed the Jordan back then. Fortunately or NOT the Arabs collapsed.
Dateline: Herzilya, Israel

Well, finally you are seeing some clarity.
It is so very disappointing to see the Israelis trying yet again to oppress the Lebanese into submission for the stated purpose of "stability" in southern Lebanon. I actually hope the UN, as well as a multi-nation peacekeeping force, takes the stability of Lebanon more serious this time. After all, the Israelis did this very same thing in 1982. And failed. And Israell did this very same thing in 2000. And, of course, Israel failed. Hopefully they will not fail yet again, though failure seems likely.
It probably will take some action against TelAviv to move public opinion in Israel that last needed step toward seeking peace.
It's been 25 years since Israel started the transformation of Beirut from being the "Paris of the Middle East" into looking like an ordinary TelAviv slum.
