Literally starting a land invasion after the war and trying to play the victim...

Hezbollah said its fighters launched attacks on Israeli forces attempting to advance into Lebanese territory.

The group said an Israeli military unit was lured into a "kill zone", where three Merkava tanks were destroyed near the Ali al-Tahir area south of the country.

A second Israeli unit attempting to retrieve the first group was then targeted with a rocket barrage and mortar shells.

In a statement posted on social media on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to make Hezbollah pay a “heavy price” for its attacks.

“Israel will remain in the security zone in southern Lebanon for as long as necessary for the protection of the communities of the north,” he said.

So you are claiming Israel was abiding by the ceasefire? Thats a pretty bold assertion even for you.

It is worth pointing out that that is literally the statement from a terrorist organisation who is currently fighting against Israel. Not to say Israel is better, but probably worth a bit more caution than just to believe them straight up

Anyway can we just completely get rid of both of them for the good of humanity

Hezbollah was founded in 1982 by Lebanese clerics in response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah

Considering they're literally still defending against Israeli invaders...

It's hard to call them terrorists and not "freedom fighters" reminiscent of any populace that takes it upon themselves to fend off an invasion.

Like bro, what else are the people supposed to do?

Just let Israel take their land?

That was tried 70 years ago, they just keep taking more.

And that's not even getting into how one wing does have substantial power in Levanon's government...

They are a Lebanese force and the reason Lebanon was liberated from Israeli occupation in the first place.

But Israel is a colonizer state, which seeks to steal and occupy more land. So every decade Israel makes an attempt to re-occupy Lebanon and faces resistance from the Lebanese.

Enough with the terrorism label. Its pure propoganda nonsense and always has been.

No. You have to pick a side.

So. Hezbollah or Israel? Choose

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
