Terrorism is commonly understood as the use of violence against innocent civilians to achieve political, ideological, or religious goals. It aims to create fear and instability in society, often targeting non-combatants to coerce governments or influence political outcomes. While definitions can vary slightly, the core element is the intentional harm or intimidation of innocent people to push a specific agenda.

So by targeting combatants, the action does not fit the traditional definition of terrorism, which involves deliberate attacks on innocent civilians to achieve political goals.

Many Lebanese voted for Hezbollahs political wing.

It was by definition terrorism, but the definition is less important than the outcomes; Which included a certain amount of civilian casualties.
Hezbollah opened themselves up to retaliation by firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel, with zero targeting.

The Israeli attack with the pagers was highly targeted; But included civilian collateral.

Terrorism is deliberate targeting of civilians, collateral damage is a normal part of war and is not avoidable. And they use human shields which is a medieval-era war crime, which is casus belli to annihilate them in whole

Terrorism is not defined only by targeting civilians.

If citizens are aware of a terror group working in their community, they are guilty by association.

They're renting out rooms to Hezz to set up rocket launchers lol, then they cry when they're struck

I feel like Israel is done being pathetic and weak (past multiple decades) and won't tolerate this obvious perfidious BS anymore, citizens are hopefully beginning to understand that weakness only invites aggression. I just wish we here in the Americas would stop being weak already, but weakness itself has become a cult.

then all of Israel is guilty, case closed

I see your grasp on 'holy wars' needs further study.

despite this conflict taking place on a 'holy' land, it is far from holy and Israel's justifications are even farther

I believe Israel has shown great restraint.
Lucky they care what the world thinks.
