We are informed that Israeli rockets are destroying buildings and the environment and are killing young people and women, but not soldiers! How often do they do this? Does Israel did it before? Do you think Israel is doing well exterminating innocent people?

Israel has intentionally bombed civilians and humanitarian aid workers in Lebanon, giving the excuse that the terrorists were attacking from somewhere in the area... This, in my opinion, is no excuse for killing innocents, as there is no excuse at all for killing innocent people.
Cliffnotes version of the history:
Israel is bombing Lebanon to the dark ages because citizens of Lebanon (and they might not even all be citizens, just random people in Lebanon) known as Hezbollah kidnapped 2 (yeah just two) Israeli soldiers.
Why Hezbollah kidnapped the soldiers is not completely clear, but they have been fighting against Israel ever since the Arab nations lost the 7 Days War.
The 7 Days War was a war fought shortly after Israel was created. The Arab nations attempted to retake land that was stolen by the western nations. They summarily got their butts handed to them because Israel was backed by the US and friends. In this conflict Israel took more land from the surrounding nations.
Israel was created out of Palestine after WW II in part because of massive guilt on the part of the western countries for not realizing what Hitler was doing in the Holocaust. Another, less talked about reason, was that most European nations didn't really want the Jews around anyway.
Going back further there has always been animosity between the two cultures (Hebrew and Arab) even into Biblical times (BCE).

Middle East is, as its name states, in the middle!
Thus, who controls this part controls the routes to the East, to the West, to South and North!
Thus, for millenniums everyone tries to control this part!
The Persians almost 3,000 years ago seized the place. Then the Romans. The Crusades slaughtered millions to control it. WWII had the ending we know because Hitler could not invade successfully the Middle East. Israel has been founded in order for the rulers to control the place, sacrificing Israeli and Arabs alike! Who is wrong who is right? It does not matter. The ones who move this game control the Middle East and the people, all the people are suffering!

Israel has lost their minds. They're over running Lebanon like the Americas were over run when the Native Americans were exterminated after 1492.
