Can't Stop Won't Stop
It doesn't much matter if Iran cares about Lebanon or sees Israel's actions as providing a useful opportunity for them for other issues, but as long as they stick to those concerns, Bibi is going to keep doing this until someone makes him stop.Lebanon’s Hezbollah says Israeli forces opened fire on civilians with assault weapons in southern Lebanon calling the deadly attack a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire.

Netanyahu calls Lebanon deal a ‘massive blow’ to Iran
Netanyahu calls Lebanon deal a ‘massive blow’ to Iran Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described the framework agreement with Lebanon as a historic accomplishment and a massive blow to Iran and Hezbollah. Netanyahu said the understandings reached with Lebanon and the United States recognise Israel's right to maintain a security zone inside southern Lebanon for as long as it considers necessary. He said Israel would remain there until Hezbollah and other armed groups are disarmed and no longer pose a threat. Netanyahu also said the agreement includes a pilot programme in two areas near the Yellow Line aimed at disarming Hezbollah and transferring control to the Lebanese army. This is a massive blow to Iran and Hezbollah, Netanyahu said, arguing that the agreement sidelines Tehran from Lebanese affairs. We are breaking the Iranian axis of terror, but we are also breaking the Iranian diplomatic axis.
