The thing is they (Israel) do have every right to defend themselves and have the military capacity to do so. Unfortunately hamas and Hezbollah are entwined within the (innocent) civilian population so to attack the terrorists without what we see as unacceptable collateral is nigh on impossible. We faced a similar problem with al Qaeda and IS in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Ultimately you can't expect a load of beardy islamist terrorists to obligingly line up to be shot by a superior military force. They are going to adopt insurgent/guerilla tactics.
And that is the complexity of it mate. I do get it, Israel are damned if they do and damned if they don’t - Hamas/ hezbollah are complete scum. I get why Israel snapped but there is a limit and I can’t look away from the innocent lives being lost and who is pulling the trigger. Maybe the best thing for the region would be for Israel and Iran to have a proper straightener and stop all this proxy shit.
