If Reuters citing the Lebanese army, UNIFIL and Hezbollah themselves isn't enough for you, then my early impression seems to have been correct : you are far gone

Are you saying Israel recently escalated the conflict by using a time machine to go back to 1982 to attack the PLO?

But the 'assassination in a populated area' that you're referring to was in itself a retaliation for a rocket strike on a populated area (that killed 12 kids)

By your own logic, wouldn't that mean it was Hezbollah that started the escalation by targeting those children?

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

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)

Gazans had been doing pretty ok living off donations from all over the world. Why wouldn't those donors keep supporting them if they lived somewhere else?

Well if you're suggesting it was Israel that restarted this border conflict with Hezbollah, I'd say you should be able to share some sources?

Here's Nasrallah bragging about his great and super secret plan to fire 340 missiles into Israel :

“The plan was to launch 300 Katyusha rockets and disperse them across various sites. This number was deemed sufficient to overwhelm the Iron Dome and its interceptor missiles for several minutes, allowing the drones to proceed,” Sayyed Nasrallah said, adding: “No resistance platforms were hit before the operation began. The resistance successfully launched 340 missiles, and all drone sites deployed their drones despite the raids. Remarkably, no site was damaged, either before or after the operation.”

“‘Israel’ falsely claimed to have destroyed our strategic missiles, despite knowing that we have not used them yet and may do so in the future,” the secretary general said, further stating that Hezbollah’s fighters had already evacuated all the valleys containing precision and ballistic missiles, so what the enemy bombed today were empty valleys. “The drone sites were not hit, and the missile launch pads fired their missiles without being damaged in the pre-raids,” he indicated.
