BEIRUT, Lebanon — The Lebanese army says that a soldier was killed in an Israeli strike on a military post in southern Lebanon, adding that soldiers fired back at the source of the fire.

It is the first time the army has fired back at Israeli forces since the conflict began a year ago, a Lebanese security source tells Reuters.

What did you think the average Israeli view towards this all was?

There’s a reason they voted in Netanyahu and his party so many times over the decades. And it’s the same reason they don’t protest the genocide and war crimes their representatives are committing.

It's also a reason why Western news never interview average Israelis.

I've seen the numbers and heard the commentary about it but I've tried to stay away from hearing/seeing actual individuals' words.

What did you expect from a country that nearly had a civil war over their right to rape prisoners of war.

What sort of army does not fight against an invading force? Is this why Hezbollah exists?

Can anybody share a link please ? I see only 2 paragraphs and can't read the comments...

You have to click on the comment icon to see them... but it says 37 comments, only one is showing (that was edited). I guess someone had to moderate

Ok thanks, I wasn't seeing any comments when clicking on the icon that's why I thought there was some kind of blocking. Thank you !
