I understand their concerns about their kidnapped soldiers but bombing the Beirut Airport was not going to help them in any way.

Glad to hear he's safe for now. I pray he's safe at home soon.

Someone should let him know at some point that taking out the airport was a strategic necessity.

Not really. The Lebanese army doesn't operate any fixed wing aircraft. They don't need runways for helicopters.
