Just for you - https://www.irishtimes.com/world/middle-east/2024/10/01/israel-and-us-promise-sharp-response-to-iranian-missile-attack/

The only reported fatality was a Palestinian man who was killed when a rocket hit the West Bank town of Jericho.

Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Iran fired 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles and more than 120 ballistic missiles.

In Reuters they reported the following:

Pentagon spokesperson Major General Patrick Ryder:
...
Iran's attack was about twice the scope of Tehran's attack on Israel on April 14

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they used hypersonic 'Fattah' missiles 'for the first time' in attack on Israel, Iranian state TV reports

There are reports about this being coordinated by Iran, which has been recruiting for a while now for this attack and possibly more.
But not from known sources, so we'll have to wait for other ones.

Probably similar to the way they tried recruiting several months ago https://archive.md/OC1fk (Haaretz)

It will mostly be Patriot, David's Sling and Arrow according to the Wikipedia article on their defense systems.
I think Barak is mostly for Navy assets?

The alternative is the libertarian socialist AANES (Rojava).

Those people came from other areas to chant in support of Hezbollah in areas where there's no support for Hezbollah.

Why are you so sure these people didn't support Hezbollah before?

I understood the point you were trying to make, hence my reply.
All those things are examples for how Hezbollah hasn't protected Lebanon, but quite the opposite.
Without Hezbollah, Lebanon could've been in a much better place now.

They're a big part of the reason Lebanon is in the bad state it is in right now.
They've been executing critics and opposition for years. The ammo depot explosion was also devastating.
Their assassination of Lebanon's prime minister.
Shooting rockets at Israel since the 8th of October against the Lebanese government's wishes.
And their continued assistance of Assad alongside Russia in butchering Syrians, which was/is not in the interest of Lebanon.

There were always Hezbollah supporters in Lebanon.

The uproar was specifically caused by the fact that Ain al-Mraiseh is not considered an area where the party is dominant. For that reason, users considered these movements as "provocative."

Only one of those 2 groups has a proven track record and an international reputation of deliberately massacring civilians and it isn't Hezbollah.

Reminding you this is what you wrote. That's what my reply was aimed at. I didn't write anything about Israel.
What I linked to is only some examples, not everything. And the 1st link contains quite a lot of events.

Lebanese, Syrians and Kurds have been suffering from Hezbollah for many years.

Are you intentionally lying or just completely ignorant about Hezbollah?
They helped Assad slaughter civilians in Syria.

They bombed a synagogue in Argentina

Execution of critics in Lebanon like Lokman Slim

And recently shooting rockets towards towns and cities, like the Majdal Shams attack
