Hezbollah is a legitimate political party in Lebanon, like it or not. This means that they have a lot of civilians involved in running a country. Just imagine Russia targeting pro-fascist AfD in Germany and justifying that by "fighting against fascism in Europe." There's 0 doubt everyone would see that as a state-sponsored terror attack and an attack on a German state - an act of war.

If AfD were firing rockets into Russia, Russia would have every right to retaliate.
Why would russia attack its puppets ?
Didn't you forgot the part where the AfD would fire thousands of rockets into Russia just this year?

Hezbollah formed a party later for political reasons. It exists to attack Israel and Israel is more than allowed to defend itself and that includes such offensives.

Are you actually serious with this comparison? Because frankly, this is beyond uninformed.
