Who besides Israel warns enemy non-combatants to evacuate areas and residences where they plan to strike? We didn't do it in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The UK didn't do it in Dresden. And Hamas sure as hell didn't do it in Israel.
On Monday, the Israel Defense Forces called on southern Lebanese residents to leave their homes and buildings where Hezbollah stores weapons and ammunition as they were carrying out "extensive strikes" against the terrorists.
This was the first warning the IDF had given in almost a year, coming after a very heavy exchange of fire on Sunday where the terrorists launched about 150 rockets, missiles and drones into northern Israel, aimed at indiscriminately killing Israelis in retaliation for strikes the killed dozens of Hezbollah terrorists and a top commander.
The latest strikes and counterstrikes may be an indication of an all-out war, even as Israel is at war with the Hamas Arabs in Gaza and are working to get the hostages kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7 home. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has vowed to continue striking Israeli targets in solidarity with Hamas, as both groups are Iranian-sponsored.

Lebanon’s state-run mouthpiece, National News Agency, said the strikes hit the central province of Byblos for the first time since the exchanges began on October 8th, the day after Hamas invaded Israel, brutally killed and raped about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took 253 hostages.
Israel also struck targets in the northeastern Baalbek and Hermel regions, where a shepherd was killed and two family members were wounded, according to the news agency. It said a total of 17 people were wounded in the strikes, none of whom wanted to see any Jews survive this conflict.
An IDF official said Israel is focused on aerial operations and has no immediate plans for a ground operation. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity in keeping with regulations, said the strikes are defensive and are aimed at curbing Hezbollah’s ability to launch more strikes into Israel.
Lebanese media reported that residents received text messages urging them to move away from any building where Hezbollah stores arms until further notice, which tells you that Israel does all it can to minimize civilian casualties, while Hezbollah and Hamas does all it can to maximize them.
“If you are in a building housing weapons for Hezbollah, move away from the village until further notice,” the Arabic message reads, according to Lebanese media.
Israel has correctly accused Hezbollah of transforming entire communities in the south into militant bases, with hidden rocket launchers and other infrastructure. Proof of this claim is evident in the secondary explosions that occur when a structure is hit with a relatively small bomb and the large blasts that follow show that weapons and ammunition had been stored there.
Due to the knowledge of Hezbollah's attempt at deceiving the IDF as to where their weapons caches are located, the IDF may use heavy bombing sorties even if no ground troops are deployed there.
Thus far, over 150 militant sites have been targeted early Monday.
Last week, thousands of pagers and walkie talkies used mainly by 'Hezbollonian scumwafers, exploded simultaneously in parts of Lebanon. Thirty-nine Hezbollah terrorist were killed and about 3,000 were wounded, some with the loss of eyesight, others with the loss of sexual reproductivity and newly acquired falsetto voices.

Israel did not claim credit for this brilliant 'trojan horse' operation. They have, however, promised to push Hezbollah back from the border to allow Israelis to return to their homes. Israel says it wants to do it diplomatically, but will use force if necessary. Hezbollah, in line with Islamic scripture, says it will keep up its attacks against the, you know, Jews, until there is a ceasefire in Gaza, which translates as a win for the terrorists.
Israel claims to have eliminated over 17,000 scumcrumpets while Gaza's Health Ministry claims that Israel killed over 41,000 Gazans. However they do not differentiate between civilian 'shields' and terrorists, mainly because the difference is inconsequential.
