Sure

After the Gaza war started, Hezbollah responded by attacking Israeli targets in northern Israel.

Hezbollah insists it did not know in advance of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. It has traded attacks with Israel in a relatively narrow zone across Israel’s northern border in an effort to tie up Israeli military resources that would otherwise be deployed in Gaza.

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)

When did I say Israel was refraining from retaliating?
