“Don’t think that the Israeli planners have not taken this into account.”

The limited information I have heard about the degree to which the Lebanon incursion turned into a complete fiasco for the IDF, tell me that you should be VERY AFRAID about what the Israeli planners have or have not taken this into account.

the reason why lebanon was a fiasco for the IDF on the ground was due to the indecisiveness of the political leadership. Had the IDF been allowed to send in its armored and infantry divisions, rather than just small company sized “incursions”, Hezbollah would have been overwhelmed. Not that it wouldn’t have been bloody, but it would have been tough for Hezbollah to claim victory with multiple IDF divisons drinking out of the Litani.
