    So let me get this straight. They are executing a military operation in a sovereign nation… without permission?

        Am I allowed to ask where that “limit” is exactly? 🙃

        Limited to all of Lebanon maybe?

        They’re also launching a pre-emptive invasion, so they can’t be declaring war. It’s just defence in shallow

      That’s what usually happens during a war… Hezbollah is effectively the army of Lebanon. The fact that Lebanon’s government does not officially call it that does not change the reality on the ground.

        Lol has Lebanon declared war? Has Israel? Sounds like goal post moving to ignore the facts. Isreal is a Rogue nation backed by zionest, Christian nationalist, and the oligarchy. Theirs no rational argument where killing 300 people to kill one man is acceptable.

        Israel is aiming to reoccupy Lebanon. These are the exact same tactics Israel always uses when expanding their Settler Colonialism

          I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make by counting the number of individual attacks. In a war, you want to be attacking the enemy while preventing the enemy from attacking you. To the extent that this chart is meaningful (and I’m not sure it is, given that it does not take the size of an attack into account) it’s just showing that Israel appears to be fighting Hezbollah effectively - Israeli victory would mean reducing the red bars to zero.

    I guess that means the US will send another $10B “self defense” aid package, again. Sigh.

    Even Russia learned their lesson in this part of the world.

      No rockets or any form of attack or threat were launched from Ukraine into russia before the 24th feb invasion, stop making this dumb comparison.

        Attacks like the Kerch Bridge Explosion that connect Russia with occupied crimea do not count?

      Unlike Russia, Israel has no qualms about calling this a war.

      But wars are divided into offensives, eg Ardennes Offensive, Tet Offensive, eg. This is the latest Israeli offensive in their war.
