Israel is not attacking without intelligence, it is attacking two things – the Hezbollah support infrastructure near Beirut and other areas, and the other target is the Hezbollah firing positions in the southern areas. Hezbollah are not reporting how many of their terrorists are dead, so the only reports are those that they wish the western media to see. Unfortunately, when you hide in civilian areas, civilians will be casualties as well. It is Hezbollah who are to blame – or would you suggest that Israel just let Hezbollah terrorists attack, and not fight back because Hezbollah choose to use human shields?
Lebanon is not a terrorist organization in principle, however, its failure to even make the smallest effort to stop Hezbollah means that they are liable for the actions of Hezbollah. Hezbollah is actually part of the Lebanese government, and Lebanon has failed in its obligations under 1559 – when you choose to allow terrorists to operate from your territory, you cannot cry foul when the other side hits back. If the Lebanese people do not like what is happening, then perhaps they should understand that supporting terrorism makes you a (legitimate) target. If they want to end the suffering, they must tackle Hezbollah.
IDF chief estimated close to 100 Hizb casualty (includes wounded?), Hizbollah has reported 6 deaths including 3 in yesterday’s gun battle.
