fully ready

How on earth can you take "we're prepared" to mean claiming that they DID the thing? ๐Ÿคฆ

As for the other one, it's very vague. There's no indication of whether or not there's uncounted civilians, only casualties of the official participants with their source being the notorious massacrer of innocents and burier of truth IDF..

I think you have a very, very onesided view on this

You can find plenty of articles from October where Hezbollah is proud to declare they were attacking Israel to support Gaza and tie up some of Israel's forces

You can find plenty of articles about how almost all civilians in Southern Lebanon have been evacuated.

There's no indication of whether or not there's uncounted civilians, only casualties of the official participants with their source being the notorious massacrer of innocents and burier of truth IDF..

The information you're disputing is not coming from the IDF but directly from Hezbollah themselves, on both these issues

I share your opinion. I don't think its worth continuing to debate that guy as you'll never come to a conclusion. It doesn't really matter what one thinks of the civilian tragedy in Gaza when it comes to whether or not Israel is fighting Hezbollah defensively. In support of Hamas they started sending more bombs in the northern border of Israel so the IDF followed suite to prevent Hezbollah.

Yeah, I do. Because some things aren't about sides but about whether or not something is factually accurate.

I'm on the "side" of not doing free PR for known liars whether they be Israel claiming they never did anything wrong, or terrorists bragging without evidence.

almost all civilians in Southern Lebanon have been evacuated.

Guess what? Forced relocation is in itself a war crime. Forcing people out of their homes so that needlessly bombing them to rubble won't look as bad as it otherwise would is NOT a kindness.

So you keep claiming without any source except "trust me, dude" ๐Ÿ™„

It's quite interesting, you asked for sources so I gave you some a couple posts up, but your reaction just comes down to "well yeah everyone is always lying so why would I believe that?"

Sources that don't support any of your claims. You could have given me links to TMZ and it would have proven your claims just as well.

If Reuters citing the Lebanese army, UNIFIL and Hezbollah themselves isn't enough for you, then my early impression seems to have been correct : you are far gone

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They cite them saying "we're ready to respond". You're claiming that they're citing them saying "we did that".

The quality of your source doesn't matter when you blatantly misrepresent the content of the message.

you are far gone

This you?

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-strikes-lebanon-after-hezbollah-hits-shebaa-farms-2023-10-08/

Hezbollah on Sunday said it had launched guided rockets and artillery onto three posts in the Shebaa Farms "in solidarity" with the Palestinian people.

The Lebanese army said shells and rockets had been launched from southern Lebanon onto "occupied Lebanese territory," without saying who was responsible, and that returning Israeli fire had left several people wounded.

The United Nations peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, said it had "detected several rockets fired from southeast Lebanon toward Israeli-occupied territory" as well as artillery fire from Israel into Lebanon in response.

Maybe you can share your sources that led you to believe they are all lying?
