Except now the rest of the ME doesn't have the USSR backing it.
I think this is just another one of those minor skirmishes that happens all too often.

I think its more than a minor skirmish

Israeli officials said the campaign by the air force was the biggest since the Israeli invasion in 1982. The only comparable military action since then was the "Grapes of Wrath" offensive in 1996, also sparked by Hezbollah attacks.
But the casualties were mounting faster than in 1996, when at least 165 people were killed in 17 days of fighting, including more than 100 civilians who died in Israeli shelling of a U.N. base.

If the attacks on lebanon don't result in a pull back of hezbollah and the return of the 2 IDF soldiers there is a good possibility Israel goes into syria, which would draw in Iran....dun dun dun.
