    I’m not at all supportive of Israel, but are you really defending Hezbollah bombing civilian targets almost exclusively - the very thing you (mostly rightfully) accuse Israel of doing?

      No. That’s a ridiculous whataboutism strawman.

      Sporadic terrorist attacks are in no way acceptable but responding with a full scale invasion that would increase civilian casualties many times over would be even worse.

      Decrying the latter ≠ defending the former

        Sporadic? They’ve been bombing Israel daily since the 8th of October. Some of those leading to fires all over the north of Israel.
        Just yesterday they launched over 200 rockets plus drones.

        Hezbollah has already started a war with Israel.

      Hezbollah attacks military bases almost exclusively (granted their high-tech drones strapped with a bomb don’t always land where intended). Even Hezbollah’s recent attacks deep into israel targeted military bases.

      Hezbollah footage ‘shows successful attack on Israel’s Iron Dome’

      Israel attacks civilian targets almost exclusively is what you meant to say. It’s an official israeli military strategy called the Dahiya-Doctrine.

      Israel uses catapult to shoot fireballs into Lebanon

      Video footage shows Israeli soldiers on the Lebanese border using a medieval trebuchet catapult to shoot fireballs into southern Lebanon. It has been reported that the army is using the weapon to set fire to vegetation on the Lebanese side of the border in order to clear it in a low cost manner.
