Re: Israeli losses to date...
Hezbollah wanted a prisoner exchange but what it got was a war.
but what it got was a war
...And, that is exactly what Israel has done which is against International Humanitarian Law.
Hezbollah, which is a non-governmental organization in Lebanon (in other words, the government has no affiliations with this group), captured two Israeli soldiers. I hope you know what a soldier is. A soldier is a part of the military - somebody who is NOT a civilian. Hezbollah captured two military personals.
What did Israel do? Israel punished the Lebanese public, in response. I hope you know what the Public is. The Public has no affiliations with the military. Destruction of the Beirut Airport, a full scale naval blockade, blocking all types of shipment into Lebanon, including food & medicine.
What Israel did here is a violation of International Law.
Bahrain was the first one to draw a resolution against this crime, which was, as always, vetoed by the Americans. In other words, America fully supports the violation of International Humanitarian Law, by Israel.
