They didn't. They launched missiles.
Then they launched missiles again because Israel killed commanders of a few groups who they were in open conflict with.
You can't fund Hamas or Hezbollah ,to fight against Israel, then get upset when Israel retaliate.
Apparently the USA were instrumental in getting Israel to limit their retaliation ( which mostly targeted the manufacturing of missiles that had their name on them ), not being able to get them to "not retaliate ). I can imagine the Israeli's going full psychopath if left unchecked.
Targeting missile production is one of the few actions where i'd consider that the correct use of the word "defence" has been used in the region.
Do you think the US would get upset if they were attacked for funding Israel? Would it get called retaliation?
