The Israeli military expanded its Lebanon campaign with hundreds of airstrikes on Monday, as the border conflict with Hezbollah threatened to explode into a larger war.
the 2006 war was pretty much like that. Israel declared the state of Lebanon responsible for the actions of Hezbollah (which is independent of the Lebanese govt. bare a few associated MPs) then proceeded to bomb the shit out of Beirut.
The policy Israel has employed on Lebanon has always been to try and sow division between the Lebanese govt and Hezbollah to provoke a civil war.
“The entirety of the Lebanese population is Hezbollah,” Israel, probably.
