1. I thought UNIFIL was meant to supervise UN arrangements afte
Alan ,   SA   (08.17.18)
the last war . It appears that the UNIFIL protected Hezballah while it rearmed with 1000000 rockets and other horrible things.
THAT IS WHY UN CANNOT GUARANTEE ANY ARRANGEMENT THAT MAY BE MADE IN FUTURE WITH OTHER PALLYS. Only IDF presence can guarantee anything. NO WITHDRAWAL FROM JUDEA AND SAMARIA.
2. If Hez tactics
Rami ,   Helsinki   (08.17.18)
Are what they are in Syria then Israel should have no problems filling Beirut graveyards.
3. Yep, lot of experience in butchering civilians....

4. Hezbollah Lebanons fear and Irans achilles heal
Tim ,   Brighton   (08.17.18)
No doubt that Hezbollah feels itself to be battle hardy and emboldened after its sacrifices in Syria

But this has left Lebanon even more at the mercy of a FOREIGN BACKED militia effectively calling the shots in Lebanon and able to start wars from Lebanese soil at Irans beckoning

But for Iran too Hezbollah is becoming more and more of a liability..and danger to its interests. Where Iran sought and got total obedience from Hezbollah, after sacrifices made in Syria Hezbollah are becoming more and more of a loose cannon.

Hezbollah want payback BIG TIME in the form of seizure of greater powers and wealth in Lebanon, more financial support and military weaponry and a stake in Irans entire foreign policy and military strategy

We can only wait and see who prevails or wether its too late for Iran to shut the Hezbollah pandoras box to contain and control Hezbollah before Hezbollah end up containing and controlling Iran

naro ,   nyc   (08.17.18)
Israel should use its Neutrons bombs in Lebanon in case of war.
7. Where to locate the targets
Ralph   (08.17.18)
All key fixed Hezbollah targets will be found in mosques, hospitals, schools, and UN facilities.
8. pretty good-israel led by a bunch of idiots

avigdor sends hundred of trucks across the kerem and sinwar responds by sending 9000 burning rioters to the fence

pardo ex of the mossad insists that a deal had to be had with the Palestinians and if not, Israel should have a referendum on some or total pullout of the west bank even unilaterally.

pardo forgets to mention the rockets of Hamas since the gaza pullout and the grief they have caused to southern israelis. this is the peace that pardo envisages.that hamas would set up a similar siutation on the vacated west bank is not a big factor for pardo??

Israeli leaders are a bunch of schmucks.
yahya sinwar is handling netanyahu and Lieberman like rag dolls-playing them for bumbling fools.

Israel should not rush into any quote solution. it should explore other ideas while holding the high ground until one plan takes shape.

ex Israeli leaders as they age are no damn good with their advice. even the revered ben gurion just prior to the 6 day war tongue lashed rabin why he allowed Israel to fall into that situation and that ihe should have made concessions to prevent that situation. and then after the war, i believe he said Israel should give back all the land even the Golan heights.

where would Israel be now if it had done that.

so this is what pardo is saying- concessions and deal.- wrong.. Palestinians want Israel and Israelis dead. give them concessions and they go on the attack more and more.
9. Inaccurate the second strongest army in the region
Tehraniporou   (08.17.18)
Is iran and turkey. The idf has the edge but it can be challenged. What a waste of ressources that Iranian money’s is wasted at such a scale for nothing. The Iranian public doesn’t have a dime and the Arabs gets the money without any return for the Iranians. What is the logic??????
10. as an FB says, why not just email the plans to Hezbollah?
Rafi ,   US   (08.17.18)
why is any of this being discussed in the media? why is IDF releasing this info? what is the upside?

It's interesting, but most of us can function quite well without knowing it.
11. 2nd stronget army
LARRY LISS ,   US ARMY 24 YEARS   (08.18.18)

IF THE IDF REGAINS ITS AUTHORITY IN WAR AND NOT WORRY ABOUT THERE IMAGE IN THE JEW HATING WORLD FIGHT AS PATTON DID IN WW2 AND AS THE OLD IDF GENERALS IN 1967 THE SHIT WILL END IN 10 DAYS WITH HASBULSHIT AND HAMAS BEGGING FOR SURENDER
12. It's not Hezbollah that's the problem, it's politics.
