Israel started targetting civilians, in their “disproportionate” response to a military action. They were the country that first flagrantly violated the principle of civilian immunity.
Hezbollah were retaliating.
This is rubbish, as Shalom Lappin reminds us:
The attack on July 12, which sparked the current conflict, involved a large scale katyusha assault on Israeli towns along the border, followed by the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers from Israeli territory and the killing of eight soldiers in the fighting that followed. [my emphasis]
The initial katyusha attack was a diversion — that’s how Hezb was able to hit the unsuspecting Israeli soldiers.
