Israel’s army chief says Israel has drawn up plans for additional action against Hezbollah and is ready to strike.
“We have many capabilities that we have not yet activated,” Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said after approving new operational plans at Israel’s Northern Command on Wednesday.
“Every time we work at a certain stage, the next two stages are ready to go forward strongly,” he says. “At each stage, the price for Hezbollah needs to be high.”
What a load of ghoulish warmongering. Oh it’s war? If Hezbollah had done this to Israelis, the world would be crying blood and vowing for Israel’s right to defend itself.
It is war. And what Israel did was smart tactically. Also, collateral damage is part of every war. Even more so when the enemy entrenches itself among civilians.
Strange how this talk of “collateral” damage only applies to when Israelis kill civilians and not when, say, Hamas or Hezbollah do it.
Using your own despicable and dehumanizing approach, October the 7th merely had 797 “collateral victims” for the 379 legitimate Israeli security forces targets. And after all, the 2:1 civilian to military casualties ratio is basically the same as the IDF’s own record in Gaza.
Ah what to do, such is war…
No.
Fuck that barbaric way of devaluing the loss of human life.
