Israel says its strike on Beirut killed top Hezbollah military official as Lebanon reports 12 died

Israel maintains that it only targets militants

Everybody knows that is obviously a shameless lie.

Why don’t they just have a war to end all wars in the Middle East? These people must love living in this kind of situation for decades.

Arming of the pagers is a war crime not that Israel will care.

Arming of the pagers is a war crime not that Israel will care.

And I'm sure if you can track down who ordered it you can make a case. Of course it will be stuck behind the thousands of other cases from Oct. 7th and Hezbollah indiscriminate missiles.

Arming of the pagers is a war crime not that Israel will care.

It is? Question: is parachuting into a sovereign country, killing and kidnapping people a crime or act of war?

What war crime?

Israeli jets have been flying low over Beirut, knowing there is absolutely nothing Hezbollah can do about it.

Waving their fists at the sky "promising revenge" is clearly a waste of time. It's not going to happen.

I do feel for the children caught up in this - Hezbollah fighters should not be around them, putting them in harms way.

Exactly. Well said wick.

Arming of the pagers is a war crime not that Israel will care.

No it’s not. The arming of pagers isn’t inherently a war crime

Everybody knows that is obviously a shameless lie.

Proof?

Israel launched a rare airstrike that killed a senior Hezbollah military official in a densely populated southern Beirut neighborhood on Friday, the Israeli army said. It was the deadliest such attack on Lebanon’s capital in years

Rare? Israel bombed Lebanon's capital in July and January of this year.

Another Precision targeting by the Israeli air force just like last week in Gaza were 60 people were killed while targeting two Hamas fighters.

It is becoming the norm now and no one seems to care unless these bombs are dropped on western cities or targets.

War is no sports and has no winner, however, terrorist attacks on Israel then hiding behind children and under women skirts comes with a higher cost, of collective punishment and a target.

Israel is certainly in hunting mode right now when it comes to terrorists.

Israel is certainly in hunting mode right now when it comes to terrorists.

It is, especially since the US has signalled it can not keep those aircraft carriers in the area forever.

However, killing the current flock of jihadist leaders can not fix the problem, as they will be replaced.

The only way to put a lid on the conflict is to turn off the money spigot to the jihadis and make a deal with the moderate Sunni regimes, which Trump had done. (Rember de-funding Hamas, freezing funds to Iran, and getting the Abraham accords ready to sign?) Sadly, the Biden govmt reversed all that on day 1, and predictably the region exploded.

Outright brilliance on the part of Israel. Geniuses at eliminating terrorists and sparing civilians,

a flurry of tit-for-tat bombardments between the enemies raised fears of a full-out war erupting in the Middle East.

How much more has to happen before it's called a "full-out war"? Seems to me Israel is rightly defending itself in this war.

Looking at what Israel does today, 

perhaps its time for islam to grow up from the 1400s and get with the times
