The U.S. administration is troubled...
If I were in the Pentagon I would be worried about Israel's rise of self-confidence...
Out of BBC Q&A:
How will others regard it?
In Lebanon and throughout the Arab and Muslim world any significant expansion of Israeli ground operations in Lebanon will be seen as an illegal occupation and increase demands for an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli troops.
Even moderate Arab governments (some of whom are not enamoured of Hezbollah) will likely accuse Israel of escalating the conflict despite diplomatic moves to end it.
Radicals and jihadis will probably welcome it as a new cause with which to attract recruits.
