1-43. An offensive operation is an operation to defeat or destroy enemy forces and gain control of terrain,
resources, and population centers (ADP 3-0). Offensive operations are how commanders impose their will
on an enemy. The offense is the most direct means of seizing, retaining, and exploiting the initiative to gain
a physical and psychological advantage. Offensive operations typically include a sudden action directed
toward enemy weaknesses, capitalizing on speed, surprise, and shock. The offense compels an enemy force
to react, creating new or larger weaknesses the attacking force can exploit. (See ADP 3-90 for a detailed
discussion of the offense.)
1-44. A defensive operation is an operation to defeat an enemy attack, retain key terrain, gain time, and
develop conditions favorable for offensive or stability operations (ADP 3-0). Normally the defense cannot
achieve a decisive victory. However, it sets conditions for a counteroffensive or a counterattack that enables
forces to regain the initiative. Defensive operations are a counter to an enemy offensive action, and they seek
to destroy as many of the enemy forces as possible. Defensive operations preserve control over land,
resources, and populations, and they protect lines of communications and critical capabilities against attack.
Commanders can conduct defensive operations in one area to free forces for offensive operations elsewhere.
(See ADP 3-90 for a detailed discussion of the defense.)

And cause I just know how you are going to try to argue it, "An offensive operation is an operation to defeat or destroy enemy forces and gain control of terrain,"
What did they destroy?
The Israeli military said it had attacked a Hezbollah facility in Sidon that housed rocket launchers for the armed group.
According to Israel they attacked an enemy facility of rocket launchers. That covers "An offensive operation is an operation to defeat or destroy enemy forces" and then we have "gain control of terrain", What terrain are they trying to gain control of? The part of Israel that was evacuated due to those rocket launchers they destroyed.
But I'm sure the US Army doesn't know whats what and you do.
So yeah,
Still laughing my ass off.
