1. Nasrallah has no exit strategy for leaving his own bunker
Jake   (08.15.15)
2006 in the long run turned out to be a major strategic setback for Hizbullah: 1. It was forced out of norther Ghajar. 2. It was forced out of the Israeli enclaves north of the fence which it had regularly patrolled between 2000 and 2006. 3. It failed to retake the Shebaa farms/Har Dov area, militarily or diplomatically. 3. It was forced away from the border area and had to remove its overt military presence in southern Lebanon and replace its positions with peacekeepers and Lebanese soldiers....back to hiding amongst civilians. 4. It stopped initiating rocket fire and cross-border attacks against Israel. Nasrallah himself admitted that had he known the results of the 2006 war, he would never have authorized the operation which sparked it.
2. Strategy
samuel ,   kenya   (08.15.15)
Military strategy is good peace for israel forever
3. The Next Time
hal rice ,   Monterey USA   (08.14.15)
The ground hog peeps out of his hole and postulates the next time. The next time will not involve Olmert. Your rockets will seal the fate of modernity in Lebanon. The next time fat ass, you will need archeologists to excavate your tomb!
4. ISRAEL STRATEGY?
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (08.15.15)
Israel is already living its dream of survivals amongst animals. You on the other hand, my fat rat friend, is serving your persian mullah masters of destruction and searching fro Mahdi. As you keep re-decorating your hole, we prosper in science, technology & etc. We revived a desert land into an oasis while you still playing hide & seek with you goats. Our strategy is perfectly clear. While you enjoy the stolen money from the real Iranians, we make our own and prosper on our own with our own sweat. That is our strategy. Stupidity is bliss in Middle East.
5. nasrollah strategy
marv   (08.14.15)
nasrollah uses an effective strategy of vietnamese dug in positions surrounded by kornet tanks, missile launchers and ieds. So the idea is to lure idf in and then slaughter them. since 2006 and olmert/livni, followed by bibi and barak and now yaalon, idf has had limited objectives, calm for calm, with little success. Nasrollah also uses traditional arab strategy of terrorizing the israeli public. IDf needs an asymmetric slaugher strategy remove the cancer surrounding threats. Bibi has no capacity to remove the threats. his experience reduces to being shot twice and pulling the wig off of a female terrorist. he is not capable which is why he begs to make herzog like concessions. Where is an idf general like sharon who can go in and clean house. \israel has not only had weak political lleaders but also weak general s aided by weakling press corp.
6. can anyone explain to me?
Anthony ,   us   (08.14.15)
What's the reason for Israel to reveal it's military strategies out to the public? Is that a smart move to tell the enemy this is how we do when we fight you? Then the enemy don't need to try infiltrate the IDF or worry how to get infos about it. All they need to do is just print it out and make their move accordingly.
7. ISRAEL DOESN'T NEED STRATEGY
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (08.14.15)
Strategy Schmategy .All Israel need do is to bomb Hezbollah back to the stone age.
8. IDF Strategy
Gregg Bowman ,   Parksville, Canada   (08.15.15)
Please do something stupid Hezbollah and find out what the IDF did not talk about in their public announcement regarding strategy. I don't think it is humanly possible to be more stupid than Nasrallah. ....warm regards, Gregg Bowman/Canadian
9. we'll just use the same strategy we used on his son
Sally Forth ,   Israel   (08.15.15)
come out of your cave, you spineless son of a worm, and the IDF will give you exactly what you deserve...yes that's right we will take you out just like we took your son out and your colleague Imad Murniyeh.
10. The problem is Nasrallah is right to boast.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (08.15.15)
Nasrallah's troops have done something repeatedly that no other Arab regular or irregular force to date has done... they have, on several occasions, stopped the IDF in its tracks and/or beaten the IDF in tactical engagements. I am no friend of Hezbollah, however I am an admirer of eastern fighting tactics and believe Hezbollah to be a very worthy opponent. If pro-Israel Jews and friends of the IDF are curious as to why Hezbollah routinely pulls the wool over the eyes of the IDF I would direct you to the American writer and former US Marine, H. John Poole and his books on the eastern fighting ethos, notably "Tactics of the Crescent Moon," "The Tiger's Way," and about a half dozen other of his titles. And I would say... this is a matter of heart. Simply put, at this juncture Hezbollah's soldiers understand and believe in their cause. The Israelis... I'm not so sure. I think the chayelim are fine, it's more like the political leadership that is completely lost. Were Dayan, Har Zion and Sharon to emerge from the grave as the young men they were, the Hez, as a fighting force, would go extinct in a matter of hours. The IDF, imho, does not have the courage, conviction or chutzpuh today that those men and their generation did and until that can be resurrected as an organic expression of martial courage among the young Israelis going into the army today, Hezbollah will continue to win the battles, though they'll never win the war. What the Hez doesn't understand is that we aren't going anywhere, for one simple reason... Never again.
11. @10 what you don''t know is...we have a MIGHTIER heart
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (08.15.15)
What you know is what you read. You don't live in Israel. At the end of the day, when (if) we get to the point of a REAL threat the IDF and the IAF will over ride Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu and will, word, I promise, WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS. ISRAEL INVICTA! (Israel Unconquered!) You know why, because WE ISRAELIS ARE THE IDF AND THE IDF IS MADE UP OF US, ISRAELIS. We are not candy-a$$ed suburban "Dah!'merican" Jews, quaking in our boots thinking about the Holocaust and singing out the empty slogan "NEVER AGAIN!" We are a desert people. We are better than all that. Further we've got the Mighty and Merciful G-d of Israel backing us up! You, Mr. Poole, and Nasrallah have NO IDEA who you are dealing with...we have a greater G-d, mightier hearts and greater insanity than ANY OTHER ARMY IN THE REGION. WE WILL WIN BECAUSE WE HAVE NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO WIN. Kol HaKavod L'Tzahal! Kol HaKavod L'Hiel Avir! (All honor to the IDF! All honor to the IAF) ISRAEL INVICTA! all that said, wishing you a lovely Shabbat and a Hodesh Tov from Jerusalem.
12. # 11 Amen, G-d is on our side.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!   (08.15.15)
Otherwise Arab pals would possessJewish Israel. ( which they don't and shall be sent packing soon probably after their champion obama is gone.) KEEP BUILDING ANCIENT JEWISH ISRAEL !!!
13. response #6
Tom ,   Israel   (08.15.15)
It was a few pages that only outline the startegy and goals to the public. nothing specific or secret revealed
14. #11 - Lived, worked, saw S. Lebanon with my own eyes.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (08.15.15)
And in my time with your army I was not impressed, but it wasn't so much the army's issue but that of your government and society. Hopefully you guys get things worked out, your national survival depends on it.
15. #14 JVC just for the record
Jake   (08.16.15)
In 2006 in every battle situation in which the IDF soldiers engaged Hizbullah in direct combat, the IDF prevailed. Other than that, Hizbullah's strategy was to hide in civilian areas and fire rockets at Israel from civilian areas. The prisoner exchange in the aftermath of the 2006 war gave Hizbullah an advantage and short-term bragging rights, but the long term situation has shown that Hizbullah suffered a major strategic setback; see my post #1 for details. If you think Nasrallah has a right to boast when he is confined to an underground bunker year after year, then I'm sorry, you have a jaded view of reality.
16. @14 were u there when we took out Imad Mughniyah
