Hezbollah's own actions are significantly more targeted and have resulted in significantly fewer civilian casualties.

> Hezbollah's own actions are significantly more targeted
They literally fire unguided rockets in the general direction of populated areas.
They did targeted strikes on military facilities. See for yourself:

well what's the ratio?
is it 10000000 rockets fired to some region, with 1000 civilian hits, with 1 military facility hit?
how do you "target" that rocket? just point it without precision?

This is completely false. They fired thousands of missiles directly at civilians. 60,000 people had to evacuate. The only reason they didn't kill thousands of people is because the Iron Dome system is so good.

You mean except for all the ones Amnesty reported, and that children's soccer team in the Golan Heights.

This is just luridly false, especially (but not exclusively) in the context of Hezbollah's own actions in Syria, where they made and broadcast propaganda videos of them deliberately starving Madaya. When you make claims like this, you call into question everything else you're saying; it's hard to imagine where you could have gotten this notion from.
We’re talking about Israel, not Syria.
It's equally true in Israel, where Hezbollah fired tens of thousands of rockets indiscriminately, killing, among other things, a Druze children's soccer team in the Golan Heights. You can read this on Amnesty (no friend of Israel's) if you want.
Again: it's hard to understand where you could getting this notion that Hezbollah attacks are highly targeted from. That is anything but their operational signature.
