What you are ignoring (or perhaps it didn't happen in Bizzaro universe where you're hanging out) is that (i) Israel's stated provocation was the killing of six soldiers and the kidnapping of two more and (ii) Israel's attacks on targets in Lebanon generally, not just Hezbollah strongholds.

By all accounts Hezbolla committed an act of war by crossing the border and killing and capturing soldiers. What is the proper response to an act of war?

Israel's attacks have been in southern Lebanon. Hezbolla controls southern Lebanon. Ergo . . . .
