In Israel and Lebanon, life goes on even as the region teeters on the edge of all-out war

Associated Press  

TEL AVIV, Israel — In Beirut, shops are open and traffic is as snarled as ever. “We prefer to have a political arrangement and not war.” In Beirut, about 110 kilometers to the north, the streets were bustling even in Dahiyeh, a neighborhood that houses many of Hezbollah’s political and security operations and where an Israeli airstrike killed Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukur and six other people last week. “There is no change to the Home Front Command’s defensive policy,” the military’s chief spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told Israelis in a nationally televised address on Sunday. “At the same time, we are in strong readiness for defense in the air, at sea, and on land, and we are preparing for any sudden threat.” After an apparent Israeli strike on an Iranian consular building in Syria killed two Iranian generals in April, Iran responded with an unprecedented direct attack on Israel, launching some 300 ballistic missiles and drones, nearly all intercepted by a coalition of international forces. “What I felt is 1% of what the people of Gaza are passing through.” Near Tel Aviv’s central Dizengoff Square, boutiques and ice cream shops welcomed patrons as Israelis walked their dogs or meandered.
