Is Hizballah On The Ropes?

Topics:

If you're watching cable news or following the print media, you are likely to be under the impression that Israel is inching along in its fight against Hizballah and having a tough go of it because the Hizballah "fighters" are so entrenched (they are - right in the midst of their human shields), ferocious, well trained, and are costing the IDF more casualties than they expected. However, as one commenter at ThreatsWatch.org put it, Israel is honest about its losses, but Hizballah doesn't admit to any - except women and children. And according to ThreatsWatch, amidst the relentless images of the dead extracted from a building in Qana, and amid the fiery anger those images generated - from Lebanon to Europe and from Egypt to Indonesia - and amid deafening global cries for an immediate ceasefire, a curiously contradictory picture is emerging from the battlefields of Hizballistan: Hizballah is on the ropes, running short of resources and desperate for a ceasefire for its very survival:

While the world has held itself aghast at 'Israeli aggression,' Israel has been relentless in pursuit of what has been described as the fiercest Arab fighting force in the region. Undeterred by global outcry as over two thousand rockets and missiles have rained down upon Israeli cities with relatively little note, Israel has made good on their Prime Minister's declaration of "Enough."

Israel is providing a lesson on fighting the war on terror.

The mighty Hizballah, rightfully feared as the most lethally armed terrorist organization on the planet, is now on the ropes. Only their lifeline from Syria sustains them in the midst of devastating strikes from the Israeli Air Force. From the hundreds of rocket launchers in southern Lebanon to weapons depots and infrastructure all the way up the Bekaa Valley in Baalbek, Hizballah's operational headquarters city, the IAF has exacted a heavy toll from Hizballah since the attack in Israel in which Hizballah terrorists killed eight IDF soldiers and abducted the two surviving.

...Israel believes their airstrikes have eliminated 70% of the long-range Iranian ZelZal missile systems in Hizballah hands. McInerney noted that over 1000 Hizballah infrastructure targets have been struck by Israeli air power up and down the Bekaa Valley (once called the most heavily defended air corridor on the planet) and throughout Southern Lebanon, including weapons storage facilities, command and control centers, vehicle repair facilities and 18 Hizballah financial centers which serve in the place of banks.

Related: Israeli government ministers revealed Tuesday that between 300-400 Hizbullah fighters have been killed since the start of the IDF counter-terrorism offensive in Lebanon. Apparently, Hizbullah takes the total number of its fanatic terrorists that are killed by the IDF, divides by 10, and announces the answer along with the rest of their contrived propaganda they call news.
