Didn't listen to that one. The problem is that Israel does not want to repeat 2006, when the Lebanese side promised there will be no Hezbollah near the border, but Hezbollah slowly rebuilt itself, under various covers and with an enormous arsenal.

There needs to be Lebanese control north of the Israeli border and not #Hezbollah control. Right now the Lebanese military is still weaker than the Hezbollah one.

#israel #lebanon : #war / #lowintensitywarfare / #militaryattacks / #dailylife / #civilians

„1 year ago, Lebanon & Israel signed a #ceasefire that was supposed to end a war between the militant group #Hezbollah & Israel, a war that left more than 4,000 Lebanese & more than 100 Israelis dead. But with near-daily Israeli attacks still taking place, life for civilians in Lebanon's south remains dangerous. Special Correspondent Simona Foltyn reports from that tense border.“

So what did Netanyahu do in the face of a wave of protests: start a war. launched an attack on the #Gaza Strip. And later launched attacks on #Lebanon and intensified attacks on #Syria.

It did help to partially quell the protests. It did somewhat break their momentum and they failed to create a general strike or something close to it.

Note: this is certainly not the single goal of the recent attacks. It is also an excuse for some parts of the government of the more lunatic nature (BTW: Katz is not lunatic by nature. He just follows Netanyahu's orders to cooperate with the lunatics).
