> Which attack came first? Who is responding to who? It just doesn't matter any more.

As a fellow taxpayer, fuck no. As the initiator, Hezbollah can stop shooting the rockets at any moment, give up the Oct 2023 attackers and everyone actively involved. I don't see why that wouldn't stop Israel from going further.

This can not work for Israel, because they are responsible for bringing these fucks to justice.

I don't think Hezbollah has any of the Oct 2023 attackers. Those attackers all came from Gaza, and were in Hamas. Hezbollah just decided to join in on the side of Hamas by shooting rockets, but they weren't the ones who did the Oct 2023 attack.

You answered your own objection then.

No, I didn't: your assertion still doesn't make sense. No Oct 2023 attackers came from Lebanon (it's quite a long distance away from southern Israel after all), so how exactly are they supposed to "give them up"? They're all in Gaza. Hezbollah doesn't control Gaza.

So basically they would just have to stop shooting rockets at Israel and it would be over?

I suppose; I'm simply addressing the part about "giving up" the Oct 2023 attackers. They aren't in Lebanon anywhere, so there's no way to "give them up".

Probably not, at this point. Israel left it to the UN, which failed to maintain peace and order. I imagine the intent would be to smash Hezbollah like Hamas.
