The Lebanese and Palestinian territories are undergoing a destructive Israeli aggression which is reaping the lives of civilians. The aggression pushed many citizens to flee south Lebanon.
Thus, the situation portends that Lebanon might become a scene for a wide-scale war which will burn this victim country which, along with the Palestinian people, pays the bill for mistakes committed by some others in the name of the people and resistance. These mistakes were exploited by Israel to attack civilians and infrastructure by its air force which is still unable to achieve its goals.
This new scene of the conflict with Israel will not pull the legs of other Arab states to the battleground. We live in a world where all parties which are fortified by the concept of force and arrogance will be defeated and only wisdom and logic will win the battle.
