Israel prepares for war with Lebanon/Hizbollah terrorists

The organization's assumption is that by fighting from within populated areas, they will wear down Israel, which will be apprehensive about a mass killing of civilians. Israel, which appears to enjoy high-quality intelligence on events in Lebanon, is collecting information about these "urban reserves" as well. At the same time, the Dahiya doctrine has also been developed, by which the IDF has threatened to respond to rocket fire originating from Shi'ite villages by unleashing a vast destructive operation -- as it did against the Shi'ite quarter (the Dahiya ) in Beirut in 2006.

The Israeli threats and the scars of the war, which Hezbollah feels far more acutely than it would ever publicly admit, are apparently still able to preserve the status quo in the north and thereby avert another war. The IDF assessment is that neither Hezbollah nor Syria wants to engage in armed conflict this summer... No one in their right mind wants war. However, when the enemy is shoving their guns down your throat you had better be prepared.

I like most of the interface here, but the post a topic and editing code should be wearing a powdered wig as it rides an auroch.

Personally, if the hezbollocks want to go for it, Israel should let them have it.

Just call it Dresden 2011.

And move on to the next target.

Now that diplomatic restraints are falling apart due to the weakness displayed for two years by this administration, Israel can pull out the stops and defend herself. I hope she gives them what for and emerges victorious, by the grace of God.

[SunkenCiv]

Yup.

This time they shouldn’t let the conflict endure: end it quickly by taking out Beirut and Damascus with nukes.

Israel needs to toughen their heart and use artillery as necessary.

Driving tanks down a road is no way to clear an insurgency...nor is ceding high ground in straight infantry battles.

Massive artillery barrages at the source of all power projected toward IAF emplacements and movements, followed my mechanized infantry assault would solve this problem. It would also show Hizbollah is relying on paper tigers for their ultimate protection. No way will Syria or Iran respond directly...they will cower in the corner and pi$$ themselves.

Actually, now that Hizbollah IS the government of Lebanon, the last thing the Israelis should worry about is civilian casualties.
Its just not their problem anymore. They chose poorly or failed to put up sufficient resistance.

The nice thing about artillery is, there’s not much for it but to try to take cover — missiles can have their guidance fooled, missiles and aircraft can be shot down, but artillery gets the job done.

Israel has a well-equipped and very well trained armed forces, and have whipped their enemies numerous times. But they are few in number by comparison, and need to keep their powder dry as well. Hitting fast and hard, and getting out, would fit in that category. But the use of nukes has been described as ‘one wire disconnected’ — there’s a no first use policy, which is pretty odd to me, because the country is so small, three nukes would just about render it uninhabitable.

[SatinDoll]

They, meaning the Israelis, really don't have the luxury of being concerned with public relations anymore. Few of their surrounding neighbors give a sh!t whether the Jews are concerned about what others think of them.

Their enemies, who surround them, have WMD. If Egypt is any indicator these are brain dead, suicide-driven populations, whipped into homicidal frenzies by Jihadi-minded Imams.

[SunkenCiv]

I wholeheartedly agree.
