Default Israel attacks/ international law?

As for the rocket attack of 27 Dec, Hezbullah denied launching the
attack or having any knowledge of it.


Nevertheless, the attack took place and whether that particular rocket
was launched by Hizbullah or Al-Queda or any other group, many have
taken place since that date prior to the current escalation of
hostilities, which unequivocably _were_ launched by Hizbullah.


I repeat that Israel didn't attack in response to rockets being fired
from Lebanon since the current wave of rockets was a response to
Israel's action not a cause of it.


Repeating a statement does not make it fact.

But I can support that with statements made by the Israeli PM. He gave
the reason for attacking Lebanon as the abduction of 2 soldiers and
promptly bombed bridges airports and civilian infrastructure. By any
reasonable measure that was an escalation - they were after all
soldiers not civilians who were abducted. Israel on the other hand has
abducted many civilians.
