It makes a lot less sense to me to first "punish" the Lebanese government for not reigning in Hezbollah before, and to destroy the airport and infrastructure in Beirut. Punishing is not self defense.

Do you see the difference?


I do see the difference. Do you see the military necessity in cutting off lines of retreat and resupply before sending in a ground invasion?

Edit: the limited response scenario you describe, with bombing aimed only at the rocket launchers, and stopping when the Lebanese government requested it - well, been there, done that. Several times in fact. Hizbullah shrugged it off as a cost of doing business, and kept growing stronger.

Now the Israelis have decided to take effective measures.
