this point...., and then go forward.....Eder Alpen of IDF.

When coming to measure Hezbollah achievement in the Second Lebanon
war, one can say that its biggest success is to have Israel north
including Haifa under siege over for over a month. This is expected to
be the model of future wars against Israel either if coming from Iran,
Syria, Lebanon or the Palestinians.
In the next war the range of the rockets is expected to be enlarged to
whole Israel. Under this scenario Israel's army is developing two
parallel policies:
The first is improving the treatment of the citizens under siege. This
was the biggest fiasco of the last war and is the background for the
drill that took place last week.
The second is to find military options that will bring fast and
decisive results to next war. While this necessarily means that the
amount of force utilized will be much bigger than the last time, there
is small possibility that this is good news for Lebanon. IDF might not
be interested in fighting proxy battles. Instead the targets will be
directed to the real sources of the war in Damascus or beyond.

Overall Lebanese situation today is in my opinion worse than what it
was in July 2006. The first thing that was completely restored in
Lebanon is Hezbollah rocket arsenal. In fact, this arsenal is much
more that restored, it was strengthen to a level that is presents a
real threat to the whole Israel's population.

I just returned from a visit in the north of my country, trying to
enjoy the green sights of this season in this part of the middle east,
and was badly surprised by the way northern Israel citizens talk about
the war and about what the IDF didn't do in it. It looks like the
biggest damage of last war is in the hearts of those that were under
siege for so long. Even the usually left wing Kibbutz people no
longer can see the Lebanese villages as towns, but rather they see
Lebanese army/Hezbollah posts that the IDF must target. The same hate
in both sides of the borders will have a negative impact on the future
of us all.
