      “Limited operation.”

      “Well they have to stay to prevent threats from reconstituting.”

      “The settlers are just unfortunate extremists.”

      “Today, I recognize the Litani as sovereign Israeli territory…”

      “Learn your lesson: if you attack Israel it will get bigger. FAFO.”

      “Lebanon is attacking innocent defenseless Jews in Israel’s Litani region! What revanchism! They’re stuck in the past! We must prevent the Holocaust!”

      “Limited operation.”

      Same playbook as always for Israel. They’ve done this in the past with Lebanon, with Golan Heights, with Gaza, and now again in Lebanon

      Maybe they’re eyeing potential spoils of war? These military operations will need sources of financing.

      But, realistically, they’re probably planing the formation of an exclusion zone to avoid Hezbollah installing missile launchers so close to Israel’s borders.

        Spoils of war? On a war that they started? To pay for the military operations of exterminating Palestinians? Is that honestly how you justify this?

          Hezbollah has been sending missiles to Israeli territory for almost a year. So they started this war, but Israel has been very lenient by not starting a full-scale war until now. The patience has run out. Like they used to say: fuck around and find out.

            Hezbollah has been firing missiles because they made it clear that they are retaliating over Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian civilian population during their war with Hamas. Israel has not been lenient or patient in any way, shape, or form. They’ve been escalating these attacks with little to no justification. It’s abundantly clear now they want to reoccupy the south of Lebanon for their own benefit and they are using this as a pretext.
