This is a major escalation that could greatly expand the war and drag hezbollah deeper into the war, which was already involved in skirmishes with Israel in Lebanese regions that Israel occupies.

Note: the verbiage of the article is minimizing the focus on Israel, and they spend half the article justifying the attack as “not an attack on Israel” an effort to minimize how much of an escalation this is.

      Israel can’t eliminate Hamas, but they’re effective at targeting 5 year old children.

      Eliminate Hamas? The only thing they are doing now is making sure Hamas gets even more recruits at this point! This war is the best thing that happened to Hamas. They get so much attention now and for every person killed there will be 10 more that will fighr against the zionists.

        The problem with Israel’s current strategy is that for every terrorist they kill, they are making 10 new recruits among the relatives of innocents who were killed in the bombing. This is going to backfire and make things worse for everyone involved.
