    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?

        There’s a difference between what they regularly do and what Israel has been doing the past few months. They’ve regularly hit populated areas, assassinated key members, etc. The US had to even talk them down from attacking Hezbollah a few months ago. It’s clear Israel is the one escalating the conflict.

          Are you saying that (before October?) Hezbollah was ‘regularly’ attacking Israel and Israel would refrain from retaliating? Do you have a source to back this up?

          (Even then, your idea that the side starting such hostilities is the one showing restraint and the one responding is the one escalating is pretty messed up)

              Well you said there’s a difference with what they used to do ‘regularly’ in these situations

              So if them now retaliating after Hezbollah attacks is what makes it different, that would suggest you’re implying that they weren’t doing that in the past

                The norm is small rocket fires between them close to the border. The difference is now Israel is attacking populated areas and performing assassinations.
