It's been 4 years since the last full-out war there. But I also remember a few weeks ago when Israel and Syria exchanged fire and an Israeli F-16 was shot down and everyone thought the drums of war were banging but thankfully there was no further escalation. Hopefully this situation is just another example of a tense period follow by more calm in what has been a relatively stable period since 2014. Considering how before 2014 Israel and Hamas engaged in a full-blown war almost every 2 years
