Israel strikes southern Lebanon, killing two and wounding seven

OMG, another escalation in the Middle East . I'm not sure what's going on with these countries but it just feels like they're stuck in a never-ending cycle of violence . Has anyone else noticed how quickly things can escalate from a small incident to a full-blown war?

I do think the international pressure on Hezbollah is building though, and maybe that's what's driving these attacks . It'll be interesting to see if there are any real talks between Lebanon and Israel, or just more empty promises .

One thing I've been trying to prioritize lately is staying informed without getting too caught up in the negativity of it all . It can be really draining to constantly follow news about conflicts and crises . Has anyone found a way to balance staying woke with taking care of their mental health?

Ugh, can you believe it? Another pointless war . I mean, I know we're all adults here but come on! Two people dead and seven wounded because of some commander trying to re-up Hezbollah's terror infrastructure sites? It just doesn't make sense.

And what's with the international pressure on Lebanon to disarm? Like, can't they do their own thing for once? We've always been told that Lebanon is the country where everyone comes together, but it seems like that's not true at all . Hezbollah says no, and Israel says yes... who wins here?

I'm so tired of these endless wars . Can't we just talk things out and resolve our differences peacefully for once? I know I sound old , but back in my day, we didn't have social media to fuel our anger and fear... at least not as much .

It's like the US is trying to mediate between Lebanon and Israel, but they're just making things worse . Tom Barrack said that Washington is "encouraging negotiations", but I think it's more like we're encouraging a never-ending cycle of violence .
