Along the ancient shores of Lebanon and Israel, a conflict long smoldering has erupted into its most devastating week in nearly two decades. In three days, more than six hundred lives were lost — among them women, children, and commanders — as Israeli airstrikes and Hezbollah rockets reshaped the boundaries of what each side would dare. The world watches a region that has known this grief before, wondering whether the machinery of escalation can be slowed before it becomes something no one can stop.
