Hi Moussa!
My name is Ifat, I’m a 24 year old student from Israel. I’d just like to say that I’m sick to the heart with what’s going on in Lebanon, and how each time it’s the regular normal people who suffer. I don’t understand what Hizballah are trying to achieve. Can you give me your thoughts on that?

Ifat :-)
