Lebanon and the Lebanese people have been here before. Israel has been here before too. Believe it or not, the Iran-aligned Hezbollah militia has also been here before, cornered and struggling for its domestic survival. In the past, Hezbollah has repeatedly been offered a lifeline by Israel’s misconceived, misdirected and disproportionate attacks on Lebanon, instead of it holding the Assad regime or Iran to account. The Lebanese people have seen their country bombed and destroyed before.
