Ansarallah's stated goal is not to be Russia's stooges, but to disrupt shipping to/from Israel in support against its criminal war against Palestinians.
Precise targeting on precise intelligence is kinda hard, so next best is increasing the cost in general. They managed to bankrupt Eilat:
Israel can stop their war at any time, since they're the attacking party for a year already, and the long term position of other parties is that if Israel stops and withdraws from Gaza, they'll stop too.
Why would matter? I guess if someone came to your house and killed some of your family members, then left, threatening to do it again, while occasionally shooting at your house, you’d have no just cause in retaliation.

So in some sense, great job indeed.
Meanwhile, there are millions of people starving in Yemen under radical Islamic rule.
In both cases, lust for making war, killing Jews and jihad are the procuring cause of suffering.
That's since 1 year before that comment, exactly.
Invasion and occupation of foreign territory is attack, yes. You can't do it through "defence".
Defense was what happened in a first day or two in Israel territory, then IDF started coutnerattacking.
