Hezbollah is part of the political game here in lebanon. It is almost the only party that is, you know, armed and lebanon and also has representation in the parliament. But has engaged in fights and conflict with israel since it started in 19805 until this latest confrontation that we are living these days. Frank, a lot of people i think certainly after the attack we saw a couple of nights ago, that unprecedented attack in terms of Scale And Size that iran launched on israel.
