It's unfortunately entirely the fault of the Lebanese gov't which has put all its allegiance in the French (former colonial masters) and U.S. (current colonial masters) as though these were neutral third parties and not the allies/enforcers of "israel." The top level of the Lebanese gov't, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam & President Joseph Aoun, are traitors of the highest degree. The Lebanese Army, whether they like it or not, are armed and paid for by the U.S., and are forbidden from defending against "israel" by the Lebanese gov't. It is an unbelievably cucked, shameful situation because "israel" regularly massacres members of the Lebanese Army, who never return fire.
The equipment given to the Lebanese Army by the U.S., of course, is purposefully kept inadequate - but even so, was the Army not forbidden from defending the country from its most constant attacker, the Army could be of assistance to Hezbollah. Men with boulders & machine guns once defeated the Italian Fascists in a battle in Ethiopia - the Lebanese Army, despite its inferior equipment, doesn't have to be useless, yet it is made that way by active design. And that the Lebanese gov't prefers this to a situation where Lebanon could repel air attacks just illustrates theclevel of treason at play.
Unfortunately, there are some in Lebanon who are genuinely so stupid that they fall for the imperialist propaganda and choose factionalism over self-defense. There was recently a politician from the Lebanese Forces party, an offshoot of the Christian Falange, who was, along with his wife, murdered at his apartment by a targeted IOF strike. To show you how cucked some of these idiots are, there were people at his funeral saying "we've had it up to here with Israel & Hezbollah!" But Hezbollah aren't the ones who killed your guy, folks
