The only reason ever for Israel to fight in Lebanon was, that it was attacked from its territory. Hezbollah has prepared for this war for over a decade. Destroying Israel is pretty much the only purpose of Hezbollah.

Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 2 months agoisrael was bombing Lebanon and Gaza far before October 7 where history magically starts.
Furthermore israel assasinated a Hezbollah top leader in Beirut. That was an escalating attack. Lebanon is defending itself right now.

Defensing against israel is the only purpose of Hezbollah.
Hezbollah was created as a response to israel terrorism.

You expect a military force to sit tight, not move, not shoot, while they know the enemy is about to attack?
Because, the enemy “is defending itself”?
I’d love to hear that rally speech with which you would motivate your soldiers to just eat incoming rockets without using the tools they have to prevent being attacked.

I expect headlines to say “israel strikes Lebanon”. Not “israel pre-emptively self defences in Lebanon”.
I’d expect israel to accept a ceasefire in Gaza which is a condition given by Iran and Hezbollah to prevent retaliation. That is, if israel wanted to achieve peace. Which it doesn’t.
