but where are the kidnapped soldiers!!!!!do not forget them, they are the reason we are in this quagmire! we must protect our children! G-d Bless all the grieving families and the parents of the missing soldiers who hopefully are alive and will be returned soon!

"Hizballah is filtering reinforcements into South Lebanon among returning refugees. They are taking up positions in the still undamaged bunkers and fortified civilian dwellings..." http://www.debka.com/

For the past month we've been hearing that Hizboullah has been firing Katyusha rockets from residential buildings and houses. Now on the ground reporter admits the opposite is true: "The paratroopers force operated in a special method: It avoided entering villages in the area, and instead hid in a mountainous area, near Katyusha launching areas, and operated against Hizbullah terrorists. " So finally, we know the truth. Thank you again.

There are four strategic targets of Israel`s missions in Lebanon in the last 34 days: 1. To release 2 captured IDF soldiers 2. To destroyed Hazbollah arsenals of short ranges and middle ranges missiles/rockets 3. To Kill the Hezbollah top leaders (incl. Nasrallah) 4. To destroy all/most of the Hezbollah rockets launching command centers None of those strategics goal being achieved by Israel`s invasion. If the strategic goal was to destroy most of Lebanon civilian infrastructures and to kill the innocent babies, women and children, the answer YES, Israel has been succeeded. IDF was defeated !!!

Who said that the Katyushas have been fired ONLY from residential areas ? Who said the paratroops were the ONLY force trying to annihilate the "brave" Hizb terrorists ? Do you STILL believe the Hizb DID NOT hide amongst the Lebanese population ? Do you REALLY believe what you just said ?

What an IDIOT. Clutching at any kind of straw to hang something on Israel. There are THOUSANDS of launchers STILL THERE.

It's in translation from Hebrew to English. Let me provide a more accurate picture: "The paratroopers force operated in a special method: It avoided entering villages in the area directly, and instead hid in a mountainous area from which they executed raids on nearby Katyusha launching areas of Hezbollah terrorists. "

Olmert u should go, IDF u should continue ur fighting to the last soldier. Peretz u talk too much!

your reporter is lying. zionists tried to fight with Hizbullah in our villages. They cannot win so they run to the mountains. Remember, you make war to live. we make war to die.

"Stench filled our nostrils as we neared Hizbullah bunkers, a sign of the losses suffered by the Shiite group." This is symbolic and in a way, representative of the bombastic, effusive and delusional claims made by the soon to be assassinated Hezzi chief and his misguided apologists That they tok a beating is very obvious to them, hence their willingness to accept the ceasefire. The stench is also indicative and representative of the rotten, rancid, and downright noxcious nature of the ideology of hate that contiinues to infect too many muslims. This particularly, virulent form of islam, is not only unregenerate, it will always present a mortal dnager to mankind. After the eurphoria associated withthe end of the fighting as worn off, then the Lebanese will have time to reflect on the stupidity and futility of this Hezbollah imposed conflict.

On your way, leave just like you entered....tail between your legs.....you achieved none of your goals, and now you are the laughing stock of the world, combined with your cvillian and baby killing actions, the world now sees the real face of israel. Truth Hurts

We cannot say we won, unless all the objectives of going in were achieved. we have no captive soldies back we have not disarmed the Hezis the Lebanese army deployment will not begin the French and others are waiting a lot of things have not been accomplished except to again demonstrate the heroism of the IDF and weakness of some of our leaders

Yes WE know you fight to DIE, but the civilized world does not know this, doesn't WANT to know, or just believe you are civilized…. Therefore, I would propose you post your statement to as many sites as possible, so the world will know who you REALLY are… And I do desire, that our both pleas will fulfill and accomplish, i.e. we will live and you will die.

said that the war ended without result. danny boy which war against the insurgents in lebanon did end with a result? from operation litani up to "accountability" there were no "results".so why the pompous talk. wars against insurgents seldom have "results".witness the americans in lebanon. we went in to land a blow.and a blow was landed.

did anyone expect that we would be able to arrest all the hizballah insurgents? is such a feat feasible? a more valid aim would be that we went in to deter them from further misbehaviour.time will tell if we succeeded.

IDF Kept lying and lying and lying, its so stupid to beleive that such huge and heavy amounts of rockets were fired from the inside of appartments. have a little commensene.

The israel leader didn't notice that Iran is a big provider for Hizb ALLA, so it is almost impossible to defeat him without cutting the link between lebanon and Iran.

the brutal conqueror sent in massive numbers of men to test enemy fire-power.thousands were killed but he achieved his aim. is iran testing israeli fire power by sending expendible lebanese insurgents?does hizballah understand it has been duped?

rockets fired against israeli troops in lebanon this morning with no reply from israel. this is unfortunate.we need to protect our forces.we should have sent a devastating answer.

mohammed you achieved your aim.you died in your hundreds.

Both Israel and Hibollah claims victory at the end of the war! My question to Mr PM is what exactly have we achieved to call our selves winners? Not a single target that we have set to achieve in this war have we achieved! And now we are withdrawing out of Lebanon and soon we will have to end our closure of Lebanese airspace and seas! The least I was expecting is the freeing of our kidnapped soldlier but even at that we failed big time! Shalom!

They leave their bodies to rot and decompose in a bunker. Can you IMAGINE any Jew doing such a thing? How vile and disgusting is that? They are not religious Lunatics, their religion states otherwise. They are poisoned with such a hate for Israel that they even turn their backs on their Holy Book. Yep! they are quite simply loathsome nefarious ignorant savages.

is the anti tank missile. israel will in future take this into account.presumably there will be no more leading with tanks.infantry will be sent to take care of the insurgents.

If this was true do you think IDF would not show some pictures to these bunkers ?? LIERS!!!

For the last couple of days, I could hardly fined the word proud stuck to posting names. Before, I could count one in every 10-20. So where is your pride? Is it something you ate?

shawul mofaz : " we have to admit that israel has lost this war" Tzipi Livni " no army in the world can take hizballah arms away" - 2 histages are still there - If the war continued, rockets will keep falling on the north knowing that 4000 already did -Hizballah and his leader are still there and lost at maximum 50-75 fighter but now became socially stronger and has more popularity. israel achievements are the following: - show to the world how good she is in killing civilians destroying civilian buildings in vane -show to the world how week are her famous "Merkava" that WAS no.1 tank in the world and it costs about 6000000$, so the other countries who were intending to buy it now don't. -show to the world how weak in the sea she is, 2 destroyers were hit,and one military craft "super dvora" . -show to the world how it's possible even with primitive weapons her helicopters can be hit -show to the world her disability and how her soldiers run from the battle filed as we can see some of the troopers were hit from the back, which shows that they were running when they got hit. what else? ah.. don't tell me the israeli media didn't tell u all that,it's not propaganda, just look in the media and press sites of the world, they all say the same news, all but the israeli ones, ah by the way, ever heard of "wadi l hujayr" battle? Lebanese call it "merkava cemetery because 34 merkava were hit in the same TRAP, propaganda? look around u, in the other sites, sites of the world, it's not rational that all the world is lying but ISRAEL press, that'd be ironic.

Thats the point! As jews, we are not proud of killing people, no matter how just. we just want to live in peace, and value life. Unlike some of our neighbors. As jews, we are a reflective people. Our culture teaches this. we of course, have exceptions and our own number of loonies. And we could probably be a bit more patriotic. But by and large, we want peace and are not proud of killing, even if we know it is required. In contrast to our more uncivilized enemies.
