> war must be quick > never get bogged down in a siege the gazan ulcer completely dismisses this. problem was hezbollah neglected the points harder. they've taken the half-ass approach to open war. instead of the leadership preparing themselves in the south lebanese hills and tunnels, they stayed in deeply mosssd embedded beirut. they chose to wait out the conflict instead of immediately pressing isrsel on a secondary front the moment tel aviv began carpet bombing gaza. they've lacked initiative in acting or even preparing, even being complacent in their offices throughout this. they've reserved their weapons, enabling them to be targeted by the iaf. also abysmal preparation intelligence wise. overall hezbollah has been embarrassingly bad, as the jews got complacent with gaza, hezbollah grew complacent with israel. they should have joined a week after, instead of allowing israel to strike them and hamas in piece meal. these blows aren't fatal, but they do greatly weaken the group. if bibi wishes, he can declare victory, as a ground invasion may still be a failure as the south lebanon hezbollah forces are still intact and willing to fight in the rough terrain even with diminished leadership.
