The trouble is that there are no rules of engagement which can be applied, or followed, when your enemy hides itself among non-combatants. It is impossible to find an opportunity to engage them face to face across the battlefield but it is unreasonable to expect any country to allow itself to be attacked again and again and again and not retaliate in some measure.

If Hezbollah won't cross the border and engage with the IDF directly, then Israel is forced to undertake measures to mitigate their capabilities.

what ? when translated, is  - - if hezbullah wont invade then we will invade them ! - - - Righto!

"Righto" indeed. If your neighbour remained on his property but kept throwing stones and breaking your windows, would you not think it justifiable to go round and sort him out ?

Don't say 'call the cops' because (a) It doesn't apply and (b) they're useless anyway; they are now only interested in hate crimes, (but I digress).
