This is a major escalation that could greatly expand the war and drag hezbollah deeper into the war, which was already involved in skirmishes with Israel in Lebanese regions that Israel occupies.

Note: the verbiage of the article is minimizing the focus on Israel, and they spend half the article justifying the attack as "not an attack on Israel" an effort to minimize how much of an escalation this is.

Nothing justifies war crimes but this is exactly what we expected from Israel. Anyone who knows it’s true self expected this. The Palestinian resistance was betting on it expanding to a regional conflict.
