Looks like the fight is on with Israeli soldiers and civilians amongst the dead already. Question becomes, how long before we get dragged into this?

Netanyahu says Israel is ‘at war’ after Hamas launches surprise attack, takes hostages | CNN

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country was “at war” on Saturday, after Palestinian militants in Gaza fired a deadly barrage of rockets and sent gunmen into Israeli territory in a major escalation of the long running conflict between the two sides.

They have boots on the ground in Lebanon. It is absolutely an invasion.

Yes they do and i stated as much, and you don't see them fighting the Lebanese army do you? And they've not laid claim to any of the territory they've attacked. When that happens, I'll call it an invasion.

They are already in Lebanon and I would call sending fighter jets into another nation's capital an invasion.

Don't like the strike on Iran, but I do hope that they disrupted Iran's ability to supply missiles and drones to Russia. That would help Ukraine a lot.

Lebanon did not invite them in. It's an invasion. It remains to be seen if it becomes an occupation which is what you are incorrectly defining as an invasion. Israel has a long history of saying "we're just defending ourselves against people attacking us, we'll leave when where done," but then never leaving. Look at the West Bank and Gaza for examples.

I don't take Netanyahu's regime's word on anything.

And fwiw, I don't trust anything Bibi says either. But Israel would be stupid to occupy Lebanese territory for any sustained length of time.

I've read that North Korea is sending troops etc to help bolster Russia, I think if Iran gets disrupted, NK will just take their place

As for Lebanon, they're primarily targeting Hezbollah and related targets.

I don't really trust IDF's 'targeting' of only those hostiles. If their history is anything to go by, they'll massacre thousands of civilians in the process of targeting those whom they deem hostiles. So their aim is a little off to say the least

We'll see. I just don't think what they did in Gaza is going to be remotely like the actions they're taking in Lebanon. I mean, unless Bibi has a death wish. I think they will lose a lot of allies if they intend on invading and occupying Lebanon.
