“however they were Hezbollah warlords were rattling their sabres earlier today.”

That is no reason to start a two front war Israel didn’t really need, and that WE will get drug into. If Israel struck first this is a very dumb move. Now they just kicked a hornet’s nest without any justification. You can’t claim self defense if you are the one who takes the first swing.

Supposed small arms fire this morning at some of the checkpoints precipitated their IDF incursion.

US State Dept suggests we could not confirm if it was Hezzies or Hamas firing on the crossings.

Either way...Iran’s state official was visiting the area today as well.

Israel didn't

Hezbollah already fired an anti-ship missile at an Army outpost earlier this week ... that's your opening shot

They are not starting anything, they are being shelled from that second front. It is *entirely* a matter of self-defense.
