Yes, it's going to be tough, it's going to be difficult, but we have to have hope. Almost every Syrian I have met they want peace, they want the violence to stop, they want to move on with their lives.

While Hezbollah's actions are deplorable, and as I've said, Israel has a right to defend itself, the excessive use of force is to be condemned.
