With the killing of Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, Israel has shown its capability to kill its foes. We are witnessing a new Israel, one that will no longer have a measured response. It has the motivation to impose its will on its enemies.
But many will mourn the consequences of Israel's strikes on Lebanon, which have killed numerous civilians and displaced thousands more. They will also mourn the escalation that this strike will cause, which could lead to a larger conflict between Israel and Lebanon.
Israel's elimination of Nasrallah was not an 'escalation.' The escalation occurred when Hezbollah attacked Israel from the north to open a second front in Iran's proxy war against Israel.
Hezbollah's leaders must have predicted and planned around the way Israel would react to their attacks. The reality is that this will not end the war.
