Well, maybe if the Israeli government stopped being an imperialistic genocidal expansionist supremacist racist bunch of jackasses, being allowed to act with impunity, maybe the genocidal antisemitic terrorist groups around them would also accept to de-escalate too.

Lebanon is in complete disarray after the explosion, they probably have other things to think about currently.
Syria has been fighting a civil war for the past 15 years, so probably the same.

Israel is being funded and armed by the US and the EU to bomb Gaza, genocide Palestinian and colonize what's left of their lands. Hezbollah personnel might be valid military targets but not their kids and not other innocent people that happen to be around them.

lol Yeah buddy, the people who want the literal death of the Israeli state have definitely shown their willingness to not be terrorists anymore.

They had plenty of time before that. Or do you think Hezbollah attacking Israel is a new development?

Yes, and now remember what the Syrian government did before all that.

Hezbollah personnel might be valid military targets but not their kids and not other innocent people that happen to be around them.

Again, that's collateral, not intended targets. It's impossible to avoid the death of innocent people in a war.
