"Many countries see Hezbollah as a destabilizing force in the region. This time the situation is different from the 2006 war. There is an implicit regional approval for a devastating Israeli military response," the newspaper continues.
Israel has made it clear that this time a war in Lebanon will lead to widespread destruction. This is in contrast to 2006, when the US urged the Israelis to constrain itself.
In addition, opinion in Lebanon has changed since 2006. Many Lebanese are tired of how the Hezbollah leads their country to destruction. None of them want to pay a price for Hezbollah's Iran alliance. More and more, people have shown a willingness to resist Hezbollah, like last year in Khalda.
"Lebanon can no longer afford to remain hostage to Hezbollah's and Iran's agenda" - concludes the newspaper.
