Strategy or something like it in Israel

The Belmont Club takes a look at the muddle that current Israel strategy resembles. Will they go for a strategic victory or settle for something imposed by the UN again? In a sense they have already achieved a strategic victory over Iran. They have at least made a hash of Iran's Hezballah strategic deterance. They have exposed most of the rocket resources as high in volumn and low in quality. Has any Hezballah rocket hit any Israeli military unit? You would think with so many, that some would have hit a military unit by accident at least. They did screw up and kill some Israeli Arabs, but they can't find the IDF? They have also failed to kill as many civilians as a human bomb going into a pizza parlor. Certainly not enough to hold Israel hostage to a threat.

While many in the chattering class have said that if Israel stops now Hezballah wins, that does not explain why Hezballah and Lebanon are so desperate for a cease fire, while Israel is so resistant. If they were winning, they would not need a cease fire of their current victim offensive.
