Episode Notes:

On Sunday, Israel conducted a strike against Hizballah in a Beirut suburb — the first strike of that nature in several months. Israel is also hardening military positions in southern Syria, continuing operations in Gaza (though at a much lower scale than before the October ceasefire), and dealing with intensifying violence in the West Bank. Michael Koplow returns to the Warcast to assess how the Israeli government is approaching these conflict zones.
