But still, why would the IDF allow Hezbollah fight the war its been preparing to fight for years? Why Not fight a mobile war, drawing Hezbollah out of the fortifications to where the airstrikes and artillery can target them in the open? Perhaps a Pattonesque lighting drive straight through the center followed by an encircling action, or maybe an airborne operation a few miles north of the Litani...something, anything, to get those clowns out of those entrenchments. Someone may correct me if they think I'm wrong, but IDF tactical doctrine to this point has been wholly uninspiring.
