In a second airstrike around the port city of Tyre, Israel accidentally killed a Lebanese soldier when it hit a car that it believed was carrying a senior Hezbollah official, the Israeli army said. Lebanese security officials said the soldier was killed by a rocket strike from a drone aircraft.

The Israeli army justified the action, saying the leader believed to have been in the car was a threat to Israel. Instead, the car was carrying a Lebanese army officer and soldiers.

“They were, of course, not the targets and we regret the incident,” the army said.

Yes, of course. But if they are wrong about who was in the car, maybe they are often wrong about who lives or what is housed in the targets they pulverize? If they are often wrong about that, maybe it’s wrong to go on pulverizing them anyway?

Maybe n wrongs don’t make a right? Especially not the right to defend yourself against rocket attacks that were launched only in response to the obliterative bombings that were Israel’s immediate reaction to the kidnapping/capture of two soldiers by Hezbollah?
