Original Note:
Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel since October 8, 2023. Proportionality in international law has nothing to do with casualty count, but with perceived military advantage gained. Had Hezbollah not fired on Israel, Israel would not have retaliated. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-strikes-lebanon-after-hezbollah-hits-shebaa-farms-2023-10-08/ https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4893654-hezbollah-has-fired-more-than-8000-rockets-toward-israel-since-october-7-ambassador/ https://lieber.westpoint.edu/proportionality-international-humanitarian-law-principle-rule/
