latest developments in Israel and the Middle East. Now, for almost a a year Israel has been waging a war against terrorist

organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah and has essentially decimated their ability to operate.

But both organizations have been greatly reduced, and they've also long time been proxies essentially of the Iranian government.

Now for the second time this year Iran has fired missiles into Israel from Iran. Now, while the Iron Dome defense system has held up basically

eliminating or greatly reducing the damage that would have happened that they certainly

I would have liked to have seen Israel now seems to have justification for a

response that could greatly expand the regional conflict and perhaps change the world as we know it.
