The greatest security threat that Lebanon faces is Hezbollah, not Israel. They are being paranoid for the wrong reasons.

Sounds to me that Israel is upto it's old tricks

"Israeli tactics further worsened relations in this period, according to this quote from the Israeli defence minister. “I know how at least 80 percent of the clashes there started. It went this way: We would send a tractor to plough some … demilitarised (off – limits) area, and knew in advance that the Syrians would start to shoot. If they didn’t shoot, we would tell the tractor to advance further, until in the end the Syrians would get annoyed and shoot. And then we would use artillery and later the air force also, and that’s how it was.” (Thomas p.154). This view suggests that Israel was a manipulative nation, with devious tactics.

True, Iran and now Lebanon, Netanyahu wants us to think about Isreal's "enemies".

And in doing so - they wear ever more Israelis down with their symbolic preference for conflict over peace.
Netanyahu is detested by the majority - and rightly so.
Bad karma to act selfishly on behalf of his ragbag extremist coalition than the Israeli people.
