> The invasion of Lebanon and Syria by Israel shows that it's not about the hostages. There are no hostages in Lebanon or Syria. It's about acquiring more land. It doesn't show any such thing. The invasion of Lebanon was because Hezbollah, who are in Lebanon, declared war on Israel on October 8th, and had been bombing Israel for almost a year. Israel invaded to put a stop to this war. Syria is (at least currently) a preemptive move to protect Israel from a potentially-adversarial enemy on its borders.
