Violence and more violence, and no end in sight: "A new phase of the war" is being declared by both Israel and Hezbollah. People on both sides got a taste of what that looks and feels like. Rockets and bombs rained down on both sides, hundreds already died in Lebanon, tens of thousands of civilians fled the South of the country, heading north. Hezbollah wants revenge for Israels attack on their commanders and fighters. Rigging pagers with explosives, Israel allegedly killed around a dozen and injured many more. Hezbollah wants a truce in Gaza before it stops firing rockets into Isarel. And Tel Aviv answers by attacking Hezbollah positions, so that thousands of Israelis can return to their homes in the North without being targeted by Hezbollahs rockets. We ask: Israel vs. Hezbollah – will there be all-out-war in Lebanon?
