Israel launches air strikes “in self-defence” - and Hezbollah says it has fired drones into Israel.

This fake narrative that everything Israel does is self-defese is getting old. You can’t claim self-defese if you make the first strike. Imagine trying to explain to the cops that you killed the intruder 500 km from your home in self-defense… That’s basically your idiotic argument.

It described the barrage as a response to the assassination of senior military commander Fuad Shukr, who was killed in an Israeli strike in Beirut on 30 July.

Assassination doesn’t sound very self-defensive…

Its absolutely justified to kill the head of a terrorist organization

Nowhere did I said it’s not morally justified. I said it’s not self-defense. And it’s not.

And you seem to be keen to pretend that Hezbollah is the only party here firing the rockets. Israel fired rockets into Lebanon for years too and murdered a lot of civilians. Killing fighters be it IDF, Hamas or Hezbollah is one thing, killing civilians is another. If you can somehow justify to yourself killing children, you are a monster.
