Whether or not the recent clash between Israel and Hezbollah is done, there are still signals of a very devastating war in the future between them.
It is in the interest of both parties to stop the dispute here. No one wants a complete war. Much depends on how Hezbollah reacts to Israel's move to quell the recent conflict.
The exchange of attacks across the borders was a response to Israeli air strikes at Hezbollah headquarters in Dehiyah, Beirut.
It was Israel's first attack on the Lebanese capital since the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Hezbollah's response to the Israeli attack was obvious, so Israel had taken all security measures. Israel has reduced the deployment of bomber squads in the border area, postponed military exercises, and troops on patrols, making it an easy target in the region.
Hezbollah's response, as expected, was not drastic. Hezbollah fired a small number of tank fired missile missiles at an Israeli outpost and targeted an Israeli armored ambulance.
Hezbollah immediately claimed its success, declaring that it had "destroyed an Israeli military vehicle on Avivum Barracks Road that killed and injured the people inside it."
Israel now says no one was killed in the attack, but initially it sent a helicopter to evacuate the wounded at the site of the attack. Now it seems that sending a helicopter from Israel was a tactic so that Hezbollah is happy with its 'success', which can take some time to ease tensions.
Now there a question rise.
Will Israel attack Iranian backed missile programs in the region even in the future?
But it is obviously it is not that easy and the effects are only temporary.
In a geographical context, this war is now spread over a wide front that extends from Lebanon to Syria. It is also likely that Israel has also been targeted by air strikes to some extent in Iraq.
Iran is moving in three directions.
First of all, Iran wants to continue its missile supply line for its allies in the region.
Second, Iran wants to improve the missile technology that Hezbollah already has.
Third, Iran wants to increase its influence in the region because of its role in saving President Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria, making it the basis for a military force in the region. Against another front can be opened.
Israel has been steadily attacking Iran, and recently claimed it had thwarted the Iranian-backed drone attack on Israel.
Countries outside the region appear to have failed to change the direction of Tehran. The United States is clearly not in that position. And assurances that trying to convince Syria to stop the growing influence of Iran and its proxies in the Moscow region have only proved futile.
It is meaningful that Israeli air strikes have intensified since meeting in June between US, Russia and Israeli national security advisers.
The latest clash between the Israeli and Hezbollah war may have come to an end, but the tug of war is still on and the threat of regular war is ever higher.
