If Israel Goes to War with Iran, You Can Be Quite Sure that Journalists Won't Be Discussing the Iranian Weapons and Troops in Lebanon

And yet, somehow, it's still true:

After a number of Katyusha barrages hit northern Israel over the course of the morning, five Iranian-made Fajr-5 missiles landed near Afula shortly after 3:30 p.m. Friday. This was the first time missiles of this type have been fired at Israel by Hizbullah. Police in the North said in an official statement that one of the missiles, which landed near Afula, contained 100 kg. of explosives - an amount that could have caused extensive damage and casualties had it struck a building.

We have Iranian proxies using Iranian weapons to attack a country that Iran is trying to wipe off the Earth. Still not enough to convince you that Iran is directly responsible (and in fact started) whatever escalation will eventually occur? How about the fact that there are actual Iranian soldiers engaged in active combat with Israel - and by "active combat with" we mean "indiscriminate bombing of".
