This is very alarming, as yet again the conflict in Israel has caused not only expensive damage to infrastructure, but has also cost many, many lives. Most of them are innocent. Also, this has caused a lot of social upheaval as the delicate democracy of Lebanon is affected by this conflict. For the conflict to last longer would definitely cause much more harm and destruction, politically, socially, culturally and economically. It is very sad that such conflict exists in the world that cannot be solved quickly. It would have been much better if, instead of resorting to violence, the two countries involved utilized diplomacy.
