I don’t think it was Christians who made the first launch.

I’m not sure Israel was in armed conflict with Lebanon.

There has been a large presence of terrorists in that region
for decades.

If Israel returned fire on them, that is probably not the
government of Lebanon.

Now... the government had been heavily populated by one
traditionally (thought of)(possibly Hezbolla) terrorist
group, and if their fellow travelers were involved, it
might be closer to a direct conflict with people close to
the government, but not officially so.

The title is somewhat in error.

While Lebanese teritory was the location of where the missiles fired at Israel came from, it somehat misleading to say “Conflict Erupts Between Israel and Lebanon - as if to the state of Lebanon. The most truthful title would have been one of the following, either:

Conflict Erupts Between Israel and Hezbolla

or

Conflict Erupts Between Israel and Hezbolla Occupied Southern Lebanon.

The serious issue of the attack, left unsaid in the Isreeli news report, is the possibility of a new level of Iran coordinated cooperation between Hamas in Gaza and Hezbolla in Lebanon.
