    Well they killed two of them, that’s two too many. If you want to assassinate someone, make sure you kill the target and not innocents.

      Sure, but two out of 2762? Big whoop. That’s a minuscule collateral as far as war goes, much less than what would be the result of air strikes like in Gaza.

        It was two out of twelve deaths, and 276 wounded. And that’s not an act of war, Israel is not at war with Lebanon. That’s just state sponsored terrorism.

            The explosions happened in Lebanon and Syria, both of which are sovereign states and not at war with Israel.

                It’s almost like that situation has two garbage groups of people killing each other, with even more twisted horrible means every time, harming innocent people in the process, and people like you thinking it’s fine because “they started it”.

                  No, I think a country has the right to defend itself against terrorists and fight back when attacked. Lebanon and Syria have 0 reason to complain about this when they do fuck all about those people inside of their borders. Hell, Lebanon is the country from which rockets are launched into Israel. Israel could very much see this as an act of war from Lebanon, since they’re not doing anything against it - which means they’re either too incompetent or complicit. Do you expect Israel to just sit there and take it? Watch while their people get killed? Hezbollah members are military targets, regardless if they’re direct combatants or working some other way for the group.

                    Well, maybe if the Israeli government stopped being an imperialistic genocidal expansionist supremacist racist bunch of jackasses, being allowed to act with impunity, maybe the genocidal antisemitic terrorist groups around them would also accept to de-escalate too.

                    Lebanon is in complete disarray after the explosion, they probably have other things to think about currently.
                    Syria has been fighting a civil war for the past 15 years, so probably the same.

                    Israel is being funded and armed by the US and the EU to bomb Gaza, genocide Palestinian and colonize what’s left of their lands. Hezbollah personnel might be valid military targets but not their kids and not other innocent people that happen to be around them.
