What do you think is going to happen when Hezbollah, just like Hamas did to Gazans, hide behind Lebanese civilians?

It's different - the rockets they target are out in areas that have a low density of population.

Gaza was perhaps the most crowded place in the world.

What about Beirut? Is it not densely populated?
So in your mind, as long as they fire missiles from densely populated areas, they should be immune to return fire? You give your blessing to armed forces hiding behind their women and children, yet cry when they become collateral damage...

No I don't.
I don't believe that 14,000 MK-84 2,000 pound bombs should
have been dropped on women and children.

https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-808212

They weren't, they were dropped on Hamas who used their women and children as shields. See highlighted above.

You don't use bombs like that in a heavily populated area.
One of them can level a whole street and kill 100s of people. Roll Eyes

Then you excuse them and allow terrorists to fire rockets without any quid pro quo. You support the terrorists, they use the death of their women and children as propaganda. They're martyrs and you kneel to them.

If one man fails to come to the scratch in the 10 count allowed, it shall be in the power of the referee to give his award in favour of the other man.
      A man hanging on the ropes in a helpless state, with his toes off the ground, shall be considered down.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Neither - they're all too bloodthirsty.

The world only makes it worse by swamping them with weapons.

It's like going into a pub on Saturday night and giving everyone a sub machine gun.

To be honest, I dont think the war ever stopped. There may had being pauses from time to time. But both side is itchy to get the whole thing blown up again.

I can see recent events leading to a ground invasion of Lebanon (again). And the USA will be pulled into another never ending war. And of course, we will have to contribute. I dont know, if we will send troops there with the US... but I can see we provide financial support. It would be just easy as increasing the Aukus cost from 350 billion to 500 billion.

Dont forget when the time comes, USA will expect us to put tariffs on all Chinese imports including components when the South China Sea finally heats up. Australia is in for a rough ride.

Israeli aircraft continue to hit targets in residential areas. Hezbollah responded by launching dozens of rockets and suicide drones in the direction of Israel. Five Israelis were wounded in the strikes.

Tel Aviv is fired on but it's all OK.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-september-25-2024/

The missile fired by Hezbollah toward the Tel Aviv area was intercepted
by the David’s Sling defense system,
Hebrew-language media reports.

The projectile triggered sirens in the coastal city as well as multiple other towns in central Israel.

There were no reports of injuries or damage.

Rocket sirens activated in Tel Aviv and communities throughout central Israel

Rocket sirens are activated in Tel Aviv and throughout central Israel, with the IDF Home Front Command instructing residents to enter bomb shelters.

There is no immediate claim of responsibility for the apparent attack, which comes amid intensive fighting between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

MDA says no immediate reports of injuries in apparent rocket attack from Lebanon

The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it hasn’t yet received any reports of injuries, after warning rocket sirens were set off in Tel Aviv and communities across central Israel.

Images show at least one interception of a projectile that appears to have been fired from Lebanon, which would mark the first time Hezbollah has targeted Tel Aviv since it began launching attacks on the north last year following Hamas’s October 7 onslaught.

35min ago
IDF says it intercepted surface-to-surface missile fired from Lebanon at central Israel

The military says that the projectile that set off sirens in the Gush Dan and Sharon regions of central Israel was a surface-to-surface missile fired from Lebanon, which was intercepted by air defenses.

There is no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
