      Yeah, how exactly is firing potshots across the border and getting Lebanon into a war it doesn’t want protecting anyone from getting steamrolled?

        Israel is the one escalating the war and invading Lebanon. Not the other way around.

                    If you’re well aware of the history then the answer to “Why do Lebanese citizens who hate Hezhollah are suddenly publicly supporting them as a foreign military they hate even more attacks their homes” isn’t a question you need me to answer for you.
