    There are a large number of people in Hezbollah. Israel is fighting them.

    You’re talking about using a Hellfire R-9X.

    In order to launch those concurrently against, I dunno, sounds like there are maybe hundreds or thousands of targets, you’re going to need to have hundreds or thousands of drones. You’re gonna need something like a TB-2 at least to be lobbing them, not a tiny little drone. You’re talking about a lot of medium-size UAVs. That’s where your scale limitation is gonna come from.

    Those things are fine if you’re trying to kill one person. But Israel’s fighting a number of people, even if it can identify them. They aren’t gonna have thousands of drones above Lebanon.

    And if they’re hitting buildings and such, then you’re gonna be collapsing buildings and stuff like that.

    Secondly, I assume that the Lebanese government is not going to give Israel free reign to do drone strikes on Hezbollah on Lebanese territory, will shoot at those drones, so to use those, you’d need to destroy any air defense that Lebanon has. My guess is that Israel’s looking to just fight Hezbollah as much as possible.

      Tl;Dr you’re declaring war on Lebanon.

      Then just admit it, this bs dance is childish.

      You’re either at war with them or the Lebanese are innocent bystanders where you have to minimize collateral damage, can’t have it both ways.
