The northern settlements were largely evacuated and used by the IDF. The party to this conflict that systematically targets civilians is the state of Israel.

One could make the argument that the US and Israel committing genocide makes paramilitary action against them legal, since the US controls the UN security council through their veto power.

Right now Israel is an occupying power that systematically destroys civilian infrastructure and threatens an international force in Lebanon, making it permissible to fight back.

"The northern settlements were largely evacuated and used by the IDF."

This is a complete and utter lie. Hezbollah's missile attacks throughout 2024 led to the evacuation of over 60,000 Israeli residents from northern Israel.

Try to imagine the US response to Mexico shooting that many missiles at a US city.

"Israel is an occupying power"

Israel isn't occupying Lebanon but Hezbollah is.

" making it permissible to fight back."

This is exactly what Israel did so brilliantly with the pager attack.
