Israel is brazenly launching attacks deep into Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and Iran and it is doing so with US made jets and precision weapons systems. Israel is basically at war with everyone and the notion that this is some sort of localized conflict between narrowly defined parties strains credulity. The US is letting Israel engage in open acts of war with Iran, a huge nation state more than 10 times Israel's population and one which can have at least limited nuclear capability any time it wants.
