I think you have a very, very onesided view on this
You can find plenty of articles from October where Hezbollah is proud to declare they were attacking Israel to support Gaza and tie up some of Israel's forces
You can find plenty of articles about how almost all civilians in Southern Lebanon have been evacuated.
The information you're disputing is not coming from the IDF but directly from Hezbollah themselves, on both these issues
I share your opinion. I don't think its worth continuing to debate that guy as you'll never come to a conclusion. It doesn't really matter what one thinks of the civilian tragedy in Gaza when it comes to whether or not Israel is fighting Hezbollah defensively. In support of Hamas they started sending more bombs in the northern border of Israel so the IDF followed suite to prevent Hezbollah.
Yeah, I do. Because some things aren't about sides but about whether or not something is factually accurate.
I'm on the "side" of not doing free PR for known liars whether they be Israel claiming they never did anything wrong, or terrorists bragging without evidence.
Guess what? Forced relocation is in itself a war crime. Forcing people out of their homes so that needlessly bombing them to rubble won't look as bad as it otherwise would is NOT a kindness.
So you keep claiming without any source except "trust me, dude" 🙄
It's quite interesting, you asked for sources so I gave you some a couple posts up, but your reaction just comes down to "well yeah everyone is always lying so why would I believe that?"
If Reuters citing the Lebanese army, UNIFIL and Hezbollah themselves isn't enough for you, then my early impression seems to have been correct : you are far gone

Maybe you can share your sources that led you to believe they are all lying?
