FOX reporter located on the border with Lebanon was just interviewed live on the radio, she said IDF now has control of 20 km / 13 mi inside of of Lebanon. This area is peppered with Hezbollah pill boxes and other fortifications. I don't know if that means that massive IDF troops are on the ground in south Lebanon, but I would bet if you are Hezbollah hunkering down in a pill box, you are now realizing your ticket will be cashed in real soon.

Militarily Hizaballah is not stronger than the Lebanese army. However the fear is that the Shia elements of the army, Hizballah is a shia militia, will have their loyalty more for Hizballah than the Lebanese government and hence they will either not fight or even worse they will side with Hizballah and fight the remaining part of the Lebanese army.

If what you are saying is true it appears to me like the smart thing for the Lenanese to do would be to join with the Israeli's and kick these assholes out right now.

It may be tougher for the Lebanese to do as you are suggesting since Hizballah will use terrorism tactis like car bombs, suicide missions, kidnapping, and kill at lot of innocent civilians in Lebanon. The Lebanese need to make some more sacrifices and get rid of this cancer of Islamic terrorism called Hizballah.

Enforcing the border with Syria is going to be very interesting.
