I need a good source on Hizbullah. How many of the vermin are there? How are they armed? How are they able to conduct such tenacious operations in the face of overwhelming firepower?
In the newsreports I don't see any IDF envelopment, or use of a blocking force to prevent their escape from these objectives. I am also mystified as to descriptions of "Pitched Battles" in which only 10 or 20 are killed.
For this to work, the IDF is going to have to stack these Hizbullah clymers like cordwood.Sending 20 Thousand of them to the Muslim Happy Hunting Ground might lessen their enthusiasm for martyrdom.

I Ping the questions.
Your observations about a more effective scenario describe what I was expecting. I feel an air of tentativemess about this operation that is disturbing.
