This is a major escalation that could greatly expand the war and drag hezbollah deeper into the war, which was already involved in skirmishes with Israel in Lebanese regions that Israel occupies.

Note: the verbiage of the article is minimizing the focus on Israel, and they spend half the article justifying the attack as "not an attack on Israel" an effort to minimize how much of an escalation this is.

Note: The verbiage of the article is like that because it's Reuters, and is reporting only the known facts without any speculation or hyperbole

OP is most likely more used to tabloid journalism and people screeching their opinions, and so reads articles in a biased mindset

The article is full of speculation, opinions and commentary instead of merely presenting facts.

I've just reread it, and I still don't see any speculation. They do quote certain sources, but name the sources so you can judge for yourself if they're telling the truth or not. Again, not hyperbole, but direct quotes

If you reject Reuters and Associated Press as sources, you'll end up far more ill-informed, not less, and you'd be incredibly ignorant to dismiss them as biased

One last comment, pointing out biases in Reuters does not mean I ignore them. Every source is biased one way or another, and I still read them (refer to the very post you're commenting on), albeit with skepticism, carefully scanning for the facts and evidence.
