Did Hisbollah fire those "at least three rockets" from Lebanon that hit Israel?
Does it even matter?
In retaliation to those rockets, Israel has fired on Lebanon.
If Hisbollah hasn't taken action before, it'll do so soon.
Having seen it coming doesn't make it any easier.
How long until we have a full-blown war again? Until I turn on the tv, see a bombed Beirut, and try to, dread to recognize places and faces I know?
Damnit. Damnit damnit damnit.
Unlike those living there, we have the luxury to ignore what's happening. We can turn off the news, and the bombs will stop. It has no real impact on us.
It does have an impact on places I've been, people I know, though. And this makes it harder to ignore.
