A couple of days ago, I wrote about how some Palestinians in Gaza have begun to realize that their problem is not Israel but Hamas. This lesson comes from the fact that Israel has started responding with a heavy hand to every rocket attack directed at it.
Today's news, in turn, reported that two rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel. One was shot down, and the other fell on the Lebanese side.
Despite the minimal damage, Israel retaliated by striking the Dahieh suburb of Beirut. After that, Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that "if there is no quiet in Kiryat Shmona and the Galilean communities, there will be no quiet in Beirut either."
According to him, "the Lebanese government is directly responsible for all fire directed at Galilee." Lebanon’s Prime Minister, Nawaf Salam, seemed to understand this and immediately announced that the Lebanese armed forces would identify and promptly arrest those who had fired the rockets.
Hopefully, this means that the Lebanese are also beginning to realize that their problem is not Israel but the Islamists residing in their country, who seek to terrorize the Jewish state time and time again.

In Middle east turning the other cheek is a wrong choice. "Wrong Luke, use the force." Negotiating with the people who want to kill you is not an option.
