We speak with _Haaretz_ journalist Gideon Levy in Tel Aviv, who says the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday was met with "barbaric glee" by much of Israeli society. "We are getting down and down, lower and lower, believing more and more in only one thing, mainly in killing and destructing," says Levy, who warns that Israel is very likely to launch a ground invasion of Lebanon next and continue expanding the war as long as it enjoys unlimited U.S. support. The ongoing escalation in the region comes after a year of "only bombing and refusing any kind of diplomacy," Levy says.
