This is remarkably helpful in clearing things up. Thank you very much!

With the government of Lebanon allowing Hezbollah this kind of status, it would seem that Israel is not just targeting a terrorist organization but the government of Lebanon itself since it permits and supports Hezbollah as part of its own government.

Considering that most Lebanese don’t support Hezbollah, this is even more tragic. Israel continues to lay waste to the country due to the actions of a minority government entity. And it’s the Lebanese citizens who are paying the price.
