United States and Israel are bombing Iran {for current/ongoing events, past/future have specific threads}

Hezbollah have been behaving themselves, so the situation hasn’t escalated.

Also, with three months until the elections, Netanyahu doesn’t want more rockets on Israeli civilians. Makes him look bad.


On a personal note, I’m scared that Israel will get sucked back into the war today or tomorrow, like many are saying here. My son is coming home after four months in Seattle - he’s actually on the plane to JFK right now, and he has a long layover before his flight back to Tel Aviv, which arrives tomorrow. I’m scared fighting will start, Israeli airspace will lock down, and he’ll be stranded in New York or even worse, it’s happen mid-flight and his plane will be diverted who-knows-where. Can we take a rain check this time - or at least wait until Friday?
