Maybe Allah (arabic for god) knows this and the arrogance of the Israeli's is so much so that they think even the ash cloud will not stop them which will lead to their eventual demise. This is probably what the Lebanese are thinking. Arrogance and underestimation are the worst enemies of a military commander. This is what Israel is doing. Well guess whos weapons they are using? The US. Do you think that the maintenance and overhaul costs for those systems is going to be instant if any at all. Do you realize the maintenance required for an Ah-64 apache. They will be limited by the US. What if all of a sudden US decides not to support them....well their goes their military supplier and all support. It is foolish for Israel to attack many more countries. It will be the Start of WW3 or Armageddon.
Don't you realize that the city of Damascus in Syria is really close to where this skirmish might happen. Damascus is a very holy city in Islam and any attempt at coming near it would be extremely devastating to Israel.
If Israel does attack Lebanon without hard evidence...the world will really turn on them...and maybe the US as well....in fact the US might let Israel do a nasty attack and use it as an excuse to sever ties from Israel. I guarantee you that the US will not be an ally of Israel in the near future...I'd say within 25 years.

Are you Israeli? So your saying that it is OK for Israel to attack preemptively upon Lebanon without any evidence? We Americans made the mistake of doing of it in Iraq. Do you realize that the only reason US and israel are allies is for two different reasons.
The US needs the oil in the middle east and it is in arab nations
Israel doesnt like arab nations and vice versa.
How convenient to form an alliance.
The US and israel long term goals are different and I guarantee you that the US will not remain an ally of Israel for long. Quote me on it.

The Middle East is full of conflict. This isn't going to spark war.
Fn relax already. These people are familiar with violence every day, unlike 99.9% of YOU
