Deception
(80%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Israeli fighter jets began an extensive wave of attacks on Lebanese territory. However, the article does not provide any evidence to support this claim and only quotes a statement from Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari who announced the strikes were underway without providing details about them.

Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the deaths of civilians and Israeli military personnel as evidence that Hezbollah is responsible for the attacks. This is a flawed argument because it does not take into account other possible causes or factors that may have contributed to these events.
