Hezbollah is shooting rockets at Israel. Many Israelis have been pushed out of their homes
Trolly: what is the moral way for IDF to respond?
Why do you think that’s happening?
Stop doing the thing that’s provoked it and it will stop.
In the event Hezbollah does not stop, Israel will look way better and will have more support for going into Lebanon.
Rockets are being launched in proximity to civilian areas, resulting in the evacuation of residents. I am not engaging in a discussion about war crimes, but merely presenting factual information, sir.

So if Israel and Gaza reach a ceasefire, and hezbollah stops, Israel is the bad guy if they do anything in retaliation to hezbollah?
Perhaps they regard them as allies of the Israeli gov in the same way that the latter regards Gazans as allies of Hamas; after all they probably have family members in the IDF.
All this **** cuts both ways.

I just feel the context is important. Hezbollah thus far has been very disciplined at targeting military installations and avoiding civilian casualties. the IDF in Southern Lebanon cannot say the same.

If Hezbollah stops then Israel would not be retaliating because they would have already gotten what they want.

So it won’t stop till Gaza is controlled by IDF

I'm asking if you think israel would be wrong if they shot rockets at Lebanon at that point

Yes if Hezbollah stops firing rockets at Israel then Israel should not attack Hezbollah
Yes if Hezbollah stops firing rockets at Israel then Israel should not attack Hezbollah
So is hezbollah wrong for right now shooting rockets at Israel?
I'm not sure if you're baiting me.
I'm not sure we're allowed to say that in this thread.
I'm not sure what your point is.
I'm not sure why you don't just say what you want to say.

Objection!
Relevance to this conversation in the slightest
Are they doing it to help lessen deaths of their allies?
No, of course not.
The narrative is they are doing it to pressure Israel to leave Gaza. But Israel has demonstrated there is nothing Hezbollah could do that would impact their Gaza plans. All they are accomplishing is initiating hostilities between Israel/Lebanon.
So IF Hezbollah was attacking Israel to pressure them to leave Gaza, Hezbollah should accept they have completely failed, and adjust accordingly.
Of course the truth is Hezbollah is just an Iranian proxy; and Iran is willing to use any pretext to create chaos in the Arab world, to strengthen their own relative position.
