"The IDF is justified in destroying Hezbollah's infrastructure."

Agreed, but that wasn't the question.

The IDF is in the process of destroying Lebanon's infrastructure. Is this justified?

"Since when does a terrorist organization take prisoners of war?"

When they consider themselves at war.

Passing over the ad hominem slur . . .

The IDF is justified in destroying the Hezbollah sites that Lebanon allowed Hezbollah to set up in violation of the treaty Israel had with Lebanon. Israel does not have to allow an Iranian-financed terrorist organization on Lebanese soil to launch missiles into Israel. Hezbollah initiated attacks against Israel probably to deflect attention from Iran's problem with the UN. The IDF is justified in destroying Hezbollah's infrastructure.

Since when does a terrorist organization take prisoners of war? They take hostages for ransom . . . or beheading.
