Hizballah in Lebanon: The War Was Not Supposed to End This Way

September 1, 2006 | Chuck Freilich

Israel is not better off strategically than it was at the beginning of the war; this in itself is a Hizballah victory. Israel must prepare to win the next round decisively. The IDF knew that Hizballah could not be defeated without a major ground operation: its plan did not fail - it was never implemented.

Hizballah’s Rocket Campaign Against Northern Israel:
A Preliminary Report

August 31, 2006 | Dr. Uzi Rubin

From July 13 to August 13, the Israel Police reported 4,228 rocket impacts inside Israel from rockets fired by Hizballah. No geographical area in the world has sustained such a large quantity of rocket strikes since the Iran-Iraq war in the early 1980s. Most rockets fired by Hizballah at Israel were taken from the Syrian arsenal rather than from Iran. On most occasions, the rocket warhead contained anti-personnel munitions, a mixture of explosives and steel balls.

The Critical Importance of Israeli Public Diplomacy in the War Against the Iran-Hizballah Axis of Terror

August 23, 2006 | Dr. Raanan Gissin

Instead of the war being about Israel's right of self-defense, Hizballah was able to turn it around so that the issue on the international agenda became Israel's destruction of Lebanon. Israel should have been seen as the victim. We were being attacked. We were the ones who fulfilled all of the requirements of the game. We were true to the international border, we restrained ourselves, we held back. Why should it be that once we start attacking, we immediately start to lose.
