    Are you denying Hezbollah was planning, and executed, a large rocket strike?

        What would you do if you knew some group of religious nuts was going to fire a barrage of rockets at you?

          Maybe not antagonize them for months by firing rockets at them?

            You do realize that it was Hezbollah that started firing over the border back in October?

                Sure

                After the Gaza war started, Hezbollah responded by attacking Israeli targets in northern Israel.

                Hezbollah insists it did not know in advance of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. It has traded attacks with Israel in a relatively narrow zone across Israel’s northern border in an effort to tie up Israeli military resources that would otherwise be deployed in Gaza.

                  Those 2 have been trading rockets for a lot longer than since October.

                    Why would you state Israel was the one responsible for the escalation of hostilities in recent months and Hezbollah as the one showing restraint if you don’t really care who started?
