U.S. defense stocks surge amid Israel-Gaza war.

US administration sent messages through diplomatic channels to Lebanon to Hezbollah:

"Hezbollah needs to stay out of the picture. Because if there is a war - Lebanon as a country will be damaged and hurt by Israel".

Hezbullah's response to the death of three of its fighter was relatively too tame and unexpected.

It's unclear if Hezbullah is adamant at not being dragged into a war that will bring great damage to Lebanon, or simply doesn't want to get involved until the Israeli army is in midst of the ground operation in Gaza.

A rocket was fired at an Israeli base facing Rmeish, Lebanon.

CNN: The US is offering Israel special operations planning and intelligence support, a US defense official tells the network.

Israel's Dahyeh doctrine: when using TERROR is kosher

In 2008, General Eizenkot outlined what he called the “Dahyeh doctrine” as an extreme degree of “deterrence by punishment”. He warned that IDF's large-scale destruction of civilian-only assets and terror inflicted in 2006 to one million residents in Beirut's Dahyeh suburb shall be renewed.

“We will apply disproportionate force [on the south of Lebanon]”, Eizenkot said, “These are not civilian villages.”

Ronen Bergman mentions the “historical continuity” of this doctrine that is de facto Jewish terrorism.
