91. Here's the thing
1- The reason you think "Hezbollah cowards were placing rocket launchers next to houses" is because that's what Israel wants you to think and that's what the "media" tells you. Most Lebanese people would say that Hezbollah fighters are located in the South, so even if the claims that they hide in houses are true, then why are the houses that aren't in the south also being targeted?

2- Hezbollah are entitled to their opinion about what they think about the state of Israel. The reason they are in a war with Israel right now is not to destroy it, but rather to free their own land and prisoners.

3- The 1983 bombing was denounced by the Hezbollah organization claiming that the group was not officially formed until 1985. Furthermore,

"Many in the U.S. government do not claim Hezbollah is responsible for the marine barracks attack. For example in 2001 Caspar Weinberger, Secretary of Defense under Reagan at the time of the attacks stated: "But we still do not have the actual knowledge of who did the bombing of the Marine barracks at the Beirut Airport, and we certainly didn't then"
