Sure, but Lebanon attacked Israel first (in 1948). Lebanon was the aggressor.

Assigning blame to only one side is meaningless when both sides go tit-for-tat for decades. Both Israel and Lebanon are complicit in this mess.

Same way as the UK attacked Germany first during WWII, no?

There were many reasons for the Arab League, which Lebanon was part of, to attack a country taking over Palestine.

For the record, Lebanon also attacked Israel first during the war in 2026.
