When would the Palestinians get a state and when shall the Israelis get peace?

Meanwhile a new phase has begun in the ongoing yearlong War. The northern borders of Israel and the regions of southern Lebanon seem to be on the way to face for more this. Today, minutes (guess it was about 90 to 100 minutes) after Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu(Anglicized version: Benjamin Netanyahu) gave a speech at the UN General Assembly, Israeli planes struck what is considered to be Hezbollah's Head Quarters in Beirut, Lebanon. The neighborhood of Dahiya, where the building is located, is considered a Hezbollah stronghold in the capital. Once upon a time, Beirut was considered as the Paris of the Middle East.

At UN, PM Netanyahu took a strong stance. “I have a message for the tyrants of Tehran: If you strike us we will strike you. There is no place in Iran that long arm of Israel cannot reach, and that is true of the entire Middle East.”

He referred to Hezbollah as “a terror army perched on our northern border.”

Israel has come a long way since its independence 77 years ago, but battles and wars in the long ongoing Middle-East conflict continues. But a lot has changed. Today, Israel faces a different nature of adversaries. The Palestinians meanwhile, seek a nation. Hezbollah remains the single greatest strong foe on Israel's borders. But who is behind it all, today? Many in Israel would say Iran. But its more complicated.

After today's attack on Hezbollah Headquarters in Dahiya, Beirut, its still not clear whether the Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah is dead or alive.
