Original Note:
The claim that "Israel constantly attacks its neighbors" is misleading. The surgical strike against key Hamas military leader carried out Beirut, as well as attacks in Gaza, are retaliation for October 7 attack. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/explosion-southern-beirut-suburb-dahiyeh-two-security-sources-2024-01-02/ Strike in Syria was a counterattack against Hezbollah. https://www.arabnews.com/node/2423626/middle-east#:~:text=The%20Syrian%20Observatory%20for%20Human%20Rights%2C%20a%20Britain%2Dbased%20war%20monitor%2C%20said%20the%20strikes%20had%20targeted%20%E2%80%9CHezbollah%20sites%E2%80%9D%20in%20the%20Sayeda%20Zeinab%20district%20and%20near%20Damascus%20airport.
