An embassy guard was injured in the attack, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in an interview with “TODAY” on Wednesday. The suspect’s identity and any possible motive were not immediately clear.
I’m not at all supportive of Israel, but are you really defending Hezbollah bombing civilian targets almost exclusively - the very thing you (mostly rightfully) accuse Israel of doing?
Sporadic terrorist attacks are in no way acceptable but responding with a full scale invasion that would increase civilian casualties many times over would be even worse.
Where did I say I support a full scale invasion or an invasion of any kind (I don’t)? Also the attacks are not sporadic. We’re talking about daily rocket attacks on the entire northern region of Israel (mostly targeting population centers, not military targets).
Sporadic? They’ve been bombing Israel daily since the 8th of October. Some of those leading to fires all over the north of Israel.
Just yesterday they launched over 200 rockets plus drones.
Nah, but I’m also against funding 20% of the budget of an army who extremely questionable rules of engagement and questionable accountability when they deliberately choose to target civilians in masss. Not only that but continuously disrespect and spit on the face of the country that’s funding them. The IDF can do whatever the fuck they want, but they can do it on their own dime and keep their shitty propaganda out of my face.
Hezbollah attacks military bases almost exclusively (granted their high-tech drones strapped with a bomb don’t always land where intended). Even Hezbollah’s recent attacks deep into israel targeted military bases.
Video footage shows Israeli soldiers on the Lebanese border using a medieval trebuchet catapult to shoot fireballs into southern Lebanon. It has been reported that the army is using the weapon to set fire to vegetation on the Lebanese side of the border in order to clear it in a low cost manner.

No. That’s a ridiculous whataboutism strawman.

Decrying the latter ≠ defending the former

Hezbollah has already started a war with Israel.
You definitly are supportive of israel. You didn’t critisize israel a single time
I didn’t know I need to be so performative 🙄
You mean honest? Yeah you didn’t know you had to be honest.
Do you share every single belief you hold in every single social media post? You lemmy leftists ate so weird.

Israel attacks civilian targets almost exclusively is what you meant to say. It’s an official israeli military strategy called the Dahiya-Doctrine.
