Israel in Turmoil – And Now Lebanon: Why?
For Heaven's Sake
09/18/24 • 40 min
The safe return of Israeli residents to their homes in the North has become an official goal of the Israeli Security Cabinet, but at what price? Can Israel sustain another major military operation, this time in Lebanon?
This week, Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi point to deepening rifts in Israel’s unity as the exhausting military campaign in Gaza winds down and argue whether another war—rather than diplomacy—is the only path forward for Israel’s existence in the shadow of threats from Hezbollah and Iran.

On Saturday, August 31, the bodies of six hostages were discovered by the IDF in a tunnel under Rafah.
