I suppose Lebanon better not retaliate, wouldn't want them to "further escalate regional tensions".

At least six people have been killed by an Israeli strike in Lebanon, the health ministry there has said.
Officials said the strike, in which three others were wounded, hit a residential building in the city of Nabatieh, southern Lebanon, early on Saturday.
Tensions have soared in the region in recent weeks, after a deadly rocket strike in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that Israel blamed on Hezbollah.
Israel responded by killing a top Hezbollah commander in the suburbs of Beirut.
Hezbollah has also vowed to retaliate against Israel, as has Iran, for the killing of the political chief of the Palestinian Hamas group, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran.
It comes as US President Joe Biden indicated he was now more optimistic about a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas than in months past.
"As of an hour ago, we're still in play. I'm optimistic. It's still far from over. Just a couple more issues, I think we've got a shot," he told reporters on Friday night.
