Israel has been bombing Lebanon in a stated goal to destroy hezvollah, and the article makes it clear that this is a lebanon town near the Israeli border that has been clearly bombed.
What's duplicitous in pointing out that Israel likely bombed this solar array used for pumping well water?
That wasn't what I wrote. They seem to be implying that Israel is being duplicitous; intentionally targeting Palestinian civilian structures by saying Hamas is there when they know they are not.
Okay. Why did Israel target this civilian infastructure? Was it intentional, or did they bomb it while stating they were attacking Hezzbolah?
Israel has been destroying large swaths of civilization infastructure, now in 2 nations, and each time blamed it on "the enemies hiding among and supported by the civilians."
There is undoubtedly truth to the above, but surely you can see that taken uncritically, that is also a statement that excuses away all civilain death and damage.
Do you earnestly believe that destroying the water source and livelihood of 400 families was a direct and reasonable war goal for Israel to execute on Lebanon?
They're saying Israel would make up a plausible cover story to attack civilian infrastructure in Lebanon. I'm saying in that case they would plausibly blame Hezbollah, and not Hamas, as they are not based in Lebanon.
Do you understand? It's not complicated.
No idea. If you want to research and justify or condemn this attack based on additional context, by all means. Let us know what you find. I'm not going to do it for you, and I don't know anything about the circumstances of this attack besides what's in this article.
So we both agree that Israel keeps destroying civilain infastructure, and they are doing so because they are stating that all of it is also wartime infastructure.
Mostly they have blamed Hamas, as most of the strikes have been inside Gaza. So the joke made above, as they destroyed what is clearly not wartime infastructure in Lebanon, is that they would still blame Hamas, even though that would be the wrong enemy.
In truth, there is no justification past "total war," i.e "destroy all infastructure, wartime or not to crippled an enemy's society" to destroy these panels. Since there can be no real justification, the joke about blaming Hamas, an enemy that could not be at fault, is clear and not disingenuous at all.
