They have been attacking Lebanon every day since the "ceasefire" with Hezbollah.

If you want something even crazier, Israel just bombed Syria who is not even involved in any of this and even helps Israel.

And a lot of very confused and out of place American military.

That was (ostensibly) in response to Syrian leadership going after the Druz, whom Israel needs to keep Syrian Muslims in check.

They've been playing this sectarian card for decades now. They only care about dividing Syria and weakening it regardless of who's in charge.
