This is a major escalation that could greatly expand the war and drag hezbollah deeper into the war, which was already involved in skirmishes with Israel in Lebanese regions that Israel occupies.

Note: the verbiage of the article is minimizing the focus on Israel, and they spend half the article justifying the attack as "not an attack on Israel" an effort to minimize how much of an escalation this is.

Those borders you're speaking of at borders between hezbollah-controlled Lebanon and Israeli-controlled Lebanon. They're Lebanese regions not Palestinian.

Not that I would condemn attacking the Israeli military in Israel itself, but just clarifying bases in my knowledge.

It's obvious that the only reason Israel did this assassination is to provoke hezbollah. Their failure in gaza calls for trying with Lebanon. Israel seems desperate.
