    yeah good luck lmao

    Even Israel thinks it’s still 1982. Like I don’t even know what Iran would do at this point. They’re one of Hezbollah’s major allies. The telegraphed missile barrage was really out of character for Iran who typically tries to play it cool.

    Israel is having a hard enough time fighting ragtag Al-Qassam militants with homemade RPGs. Hezbollah actually has funding and infrastructure. They have technical trucks and artillery. Why would Israel try to do this? Do they really need this much of a reality check? Maybe they’re stuck in 2006 where Israel kept indiscriminately shooting civilian targets in Lebanon to the point Hezbollah got justifiably terrified of just how evil Israel could be, so they called for a ceasefire after a month.

    How would it go over if Israel tries to do the 2006 Lebanon war again? Like with cluster munitions and white phosphorous launched at civilians. Am I gonna be reading “Hezbollah also hiding behind human shields”?
