From the article:
"The IDF has been trying to improve its performance if hostilities resume, but so has Hezbollah. The Shi'ite organization has built fortified lines with underground command posts and improved operational capacity. Its rockets are hidden in better-camouflaged launching pads.
The ground forces are therefore expected to contribute much more to the war effort than in 2006, when Israel relied mainly on the IAF. This would entail much more intense urban warfare, with many civilians caught in the crossfire, and the attendant legal implications."

Why should they give a f**k about "legal implications" if their innocent peace-loving citizens are facing death and possibly extinction? The United (socialists) Nations passes resolution time and again against Israel.

Is Israel now SO concern about world opinion and willing to forfeit its existence? I don't think so. This article is major BS.

They have said repeatedly..."Never again"....so they've certainly made clear they mean just that.

With Romney getting pretty much the go ahead then Obama wins...so looks like God's allowing the nations to move forward in their agendas and we won't be much help if any in stopping it from coming together....we'll be deep in trouble ourselves.

Precisely. In 2006, Israel was hopeful the Lebanese would sieze the opportunity during that conflict to rid themselves of the Syrian/Hezbollah/Iranian presence in their country. Unfortunately, that did not occur. They attempted to execute surgical strikes in known Hezbollah areas in Beruit and Southern Lebanon, while leaving the general infrastructure intact.

At the conclusion of that conflict, Israel plainly stated the next time would be different. Given the state of the Lebanese government (essentially a Hezbollah run Iranian terror arm), you can believe that's true. I sincerely doubt commanders will give a damn about "legal implications" surrounding their tactics. Gloves will be off and the people of Lebanon will regret squandering the lost opportunity of 6 years ago.
