Lebanon is not bombing anyone / anything. Hezbollah, an Iranian faction is, from within Lebanon.

Hezbollah is Lebanese. They are not Iranian.

True but they're largely armed and supported by Iran. I think it's a bit misleading to refer to them as "Lebanon" since that would usually be used to refer to the national government.

Although arguably the national government should be bombing Israel considering their territories are being invaded and annexed.

They're not an Iranian faction, it's a political party with an armed wing. Iran does support them. That doesn't make them Iranian. Hezbollah is basically the government in South Lebanon.

I agree with you that it's no Iranian but I also agree with the other commenter that statement about "Lebanon" is misleading. That's all I'm saying. Regardless of the fact that Hazbollah may have de facto control of Southern Lebanon, it's still inaccurate to simply refer to them as "Lebanon".
