Be that as it may, carpet bombing has a specific meaning, and it's not bombing one's not on board with.

In the context of Iran I agree with you.

Not so sure about South Lebanon. From whatever media coverage I saw, some look not that different from carpet bombing.

Evidence for the claim?

Human Rights Watch claim it, and have analysed photographs put on social media

(they have also previously documented that Israel has done this in the past)

Indeed, Israel and the US are quite vile. I have said so many times on placard which have then been ripped apart by the Israeli police. I only made a comment about the term "carpet bombing", as that is a specific term which means something else than "wide-scale bombing".
