You look at it so simply, but for every action Israel takes, it has a cascading effect in the region, and why every action must be considered in it's entirety. I don't see Israel doing that, and it is the reason why their safety is not improving.
Had Israel reached a ceasefire deal with Hamas, Hezbollah may not have fired all those rockets south. I mean, sure, they may have, but you can't ignore the strong correlation and statements of fact. So by Israel continuing their questionable strategy in Gaza, they endangered their own security. Almost like the things I suggested earlier in the thread actually happen.

So what if Hezbollah is claiming they are doing it in support of the Palestinians? Sure, that very well could be and likely is the reason they are firing rockets at Israel. But that does not excuse them from being the aggressor in this case on the northern border with Israel.
If Canada just started bombing Russia today because it was opposed to Russia’s war in Ukraine (just set aside NATO for a second), would Canada not be the aggressor in this case and provoke a response? And I say this as someone born in Kyiv who supports Ukraine 100% and thinks the Russian government is absolute scum.
Hezbollah has nothing to do with the Palestinian cause and its presence in today’s landscape is entirely based on aggressive tactics meant to provoke Israel.
I hope that the situation in Gaza is resolved soon, and it may quiet things down with Hezbollah (for a time), but the situation there is not sustainable and Israel can’t just allow Hezbollah to arm and re-arm, and continue provocations forever more.
