In reply to the discussion: Rocket fired from south Lebanon towards Israel [View all]Swede Atlanta
(3,596 posts)1. And is Israel surprised by this?
The whole situation in the Middle East is a cluster. But if the Israelis are surprised when missiles are fired into Israel when they have attacked installations in Syria then Benjamin Netanyahu is stupid. Of course there will be push-back for the attacks on Syria, even if those attacks are warranted.
The Israeli populace needs to understand that every aggressive action (even if viewed as defensive) by Israel is likely to result in counter-attacks that go at the heart of the Iraseli state.
The whole situation is frustrating for all and deadly to those on the ground there.
