Hezbollah said the “first phase” of its strikes against Israel “ended with complete success,”claiming that it launched 320 rockets and a barrage of drones toward Israel.

Hezbollah said it carried out strikes towards Israel in response to the killing of top military commander Fu’ad Shukr last month in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a populous neighborhood that is also the Iran-backed group’s stronghold.

          Israel attacked Lebanon first by bombing civilian targets in Lebanon.

          It’s amazing how that seems to be the only thing Israel is good at, these days; killing civilians.

              200,000 Palestinians would disagree.

              Also before you repeat the braindead response (seriously, that script needs to be updated) of “but those numbers are from Hamas” that number is from the Lancet medical journal.

              Edit: Changed ‘your’ to ‘that’ as I wasn’t trying to imply that it was [email protected]’s scipt, but it read like I was.

                Palestinians are not relevant they will agree with any anti isreal statement regardless of truth, Hamas is not relevant this article is about Israel and Hezbollah. I don’t know what you think you replied to.

                The headline states isreal stikes first and people here are interpreting that as isreal crossing the line and starting a conflict. But this strike from Israel’s comes after constant fighting between the two parties since Oct 8. Where Hezbollah (which is supported by the Lebanon) fired first on Israelis(in Israeli occupied territory) knowing that it would kick off a conflict. Now we are almost a year down the line and we are seeing the compounding results of back and forth escalation.

                  Hezbollah is targeting military targets in the north of Israel to support Gaza against Israel’s war of extermination. Those military targets ate almost all entirely the sensors for the various Iron Dome systems. Israel is now mostly blind in the north after 10 months of slow attrition against the sensors.

                  Israel bombed southern Lebanese civilian targets in a supposed preemptive strike against Hezbollah’s response to Israel’s assassination of a general in a civilian area.

                  This matches with their behavior in Gaza. If they can’t react militarily against military targets, they target civilian populations for ‘deterrence’

                  Know what the definition of terrorism is?

                  Committing violence against civilians to accomplish political change.

                  Israel is a apartheid genocidal terrorist regime.

                    No. The strikes from Hezbollah came before Isreal began their war on Gaza and were specifically because they thought Arabs were doing an all our war to exterminate isreal. They were not at any point limited to military targets.

                    You are so disingenuous trying to paint this as Hezbollah striking military targets and Isreal striking civilans ignoring that Hezbollah operate from within civilian areas and have never ever stated or shown that they are only targeting military installations. If they were targeting only military targets they would be aiming majority of their attacks at the major isreali population centers.

                    You hold Isreal to such a high standard and then put a blindfold on when looking at the actions of arabs. You use the exact same line of reasoning as anti immigration racists in the US and UK and its gross.
