After the Gaza war started, Hezbollah responded by attacking Israeli targets in northern Israel.
Hezbollah insists it did not know in advance of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. It has traded attacks with Israel in a relatively narrow zone across Israel’s northern border in an effort to tie up Israeli military resources that would otherwise be deployed in Gaza.
Why would you state Israel was the one responsible for the escalation of hostilities in recent months and Hezbollah as the one showing restraint if you don’t really care who started?
There’s a difference between what they regularly do and what Israel has been doing the past few months. They’ve regularly hit populated areas, assassinated key members, etc. The US had to even talk them down from attacking Hezbollah a few months ago. It’s clear Israel is the one escalating the conflict.

Those 2 have been trading rockets for a lot longer than since October.
