    So like killing a “handful” of Israeli civilians would be “exceptionally good” if the target was a bunch of IDF reservists?

      I mean, yeah. The tragic answer is that civilian casualties are inevitable in war, unfortunately.

      According to a UN meeting from 2022, 90% of war casualties globally are civilians. That’s not to say that’s an acceptable ratio, in fact it’s horrifying, but it does show that a ratio of “a handful” to “a bunch” is quite a lot better than the average.

      It’s never good, but when Hezbollah chose to restart the violence they knew it was never going to be without collateral

        Israel has been massing forces on the Lebanon border and saying they will invade for months now. At what point is the Lebanese government allowed to defend itself?

          Israel and Hezbollah have always had forces on the border staring at eachother.

          After Hezbollah broke that status quo, Israel has been threatening to invade if they didn’t stop.

          Can you explain why you’re blaming Israel for responding more than Hesbollah for starting it?
