Israeli Surgical Strikes
While Hezbollah continues to indiscriminately lob rockets into northern Israel trying to kill as many civilians as possible, Israel’s strikes continue to hit strategic targets while leaving nearby civilian objects as untouched as possible. Hezbollah fighters use cowardly tactics including dressing as civilians, firing their rockets from the middle of neighborhoods, and using women and children as human shields. Trying to counter such actions obviously results in innocent people being injured or killed, but there is no way Israel can stand by and let these terrorists continue their killing campaign unchecked.
The New York Times has a very nice graphic comparing satellite photos of a Beirut neighborhood where Hezbollah had their headquarters before and after Israel’s bombings. What’s especially striking is how churches, mosques, and schools in the area are completely untouched, while the headquarters compound, which was fenced off and heavily guarded, is completely flattened.
