This is standard issue Western Colonialist behaviour and a recurring theme throughout history, identical to the videos of so called soldiers spraying Agent Orange in Vietnam while laughing their asses off, or the ones in the Apaches being facetious while shooting unarmed civilians. Actually, we see this behaviour every day on this very forum with the non-stop dehumanization of Indian people, conveniently ignored by moderators. Meanwhile, we will continue to have our eardrums pierced with how Hamas raped civilians, all while watching IDF prison rape videos and debates on allowing rape of Palestinian prisoners as a form of stress relief.

Hezbollah's huge attack has been foiled it seems. Israel's intelligence at work
With Israeli intelligence observing that Hezbollah was about to launch its largest attack of the current war, including to the Tel Aviv and central Israel areas, around 5:00 a.m., the IDF preemptively and independently struck targets where Hezbollah was on the verge of firing on Israel.
Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant approved the preventative action against Hezbollah at IDF headquarters Saturday night and were bringing together the security cabinet around 7:00 a.m.
Netanyahu told the security cabinet, "This morning, we detected Hezbollah's preparations to attack Israel. In consultation with the Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff, we instructed the IDF to act proactively to remove the threat.”
“The IDF has since been working vigorously to thwart such threats. It destroyed thousands of rockets aimed at the north of the country, it has also thwarted many other threats and operates with great power - both in defensively and offensively,” Netanyahu said.
One hundred Israeli air force jets preemptively hit thousands of Hezbollah targets
The IDF entered a new, much more dangerous phase of the conflict in the North early Sunday morning, with hundreds of air force jets striking thousands of Hezbollah rocket attack platforms.With Israeli intelligence observing that Hezbollah was about to launch its largest attack of the current war, including to the Tel Aviv and central Israel areas, around 5:00 a.m., the IDF preemptively and independently struck targets where Hezbollah was on the verge of firing on Israel.

Israel claims it destroyed "thousands of rocket launchers". But caused no casualties and obviously did not launch "thousands" of airstrikes. This whole thing stinks.
Sounds more like an exchange of fire than a successful Israeli operation. Also, radical Israelis call all their attacks preemptive strikes. That's just how they talk.
It's likely that Lebanon still suffered more damage than Israel, but they can afford to take more damage too
