On one hand, just like Gaza, Israel is spiraling into war in Lebanon without a strategy or clear goals, and even if they wanted to invade, they can’t.

While Washington seeks to prevent war, its constrained by limited policy options, political timing, and Netanyahu's brinkmanship. In short this madness won’t end any time soon, but I don’t see it getting out of control.
