I don't really have a strong opinion about this, but I do wonder if all of the people cheering it on would have any problem with assassinations of US or Israeli soldiers who are out of uniform and not engaged in any sort of military activity.
Or that British soldier that was murdered recently.
Hezbollah was one of the military factions in Lebanon that fought a bloody ethnic civil war against other religious groups.
It's a sectarian paramilitary organization with no official status in Lebanon and it was one of the first Islamic groups to start using suicide bombings.
Considering one of their stated goals is Jewish genocide, I can see why Israel believes they're all fair game.
And I don't really care. They joined the group, they can deal with the consequences. It'd be like if the dems explicitly said "we want to genocide white people" as their party platform. Any dem would be fair game in a kinetic conflict at that point. Or do you not agree?

Issue is, Hezbollah don't wear uniforms even when actively engaged in combat, so pointing out they weren't in uniform falls flat.
Fair enough, but the point wasn't that they aren't uniformed. The point was that they're not engaged in military activity.
And we're just supposed to take Israel's word for the fact that they were terrorists. And we all know that Israel never lies.
Stop noticing.
