Except Israel already had control of the terrain, resources and population centers you think they gained control of due to a single strike on a single building out of Hezbollah's missile range of the aforementioned terrain, resources and population centers. All of it was Israel's all along, with the enemy having zero control over it at any time. In fact, the exact opposite is the case: it was Israel's offensive military operation that gained control of parts of the enemy's terrain, resources and population centers. And that offensive military operation prompted the current cease fire agreement which then permitted Israel to target the missile depot in question. No offense intended in the case of the latter, pardon the pun.

If only you were to read the agreement, you would have found all this self-explanatory.

And now, for our next comedy act, I can't wait to hear how IDF gained control "of terrain, resources, and population centers" they previously controlled with a single strike on a single enemy rocket depot. And while we are at it, why not try to ponder how an act of striking a military target is different from execution of a plan for a military offensive operation (hint: a hammer hitting a nail will get you nowhere without you knowing WTF you are trying to build).

Surely, with enough creativity, hilarity will ensue!
