Command and Control

On day 20 of the Israeli-Lebanon conflict, there were zero rockets fired from Hezbullah positions. Zero.

20 days of Israeli airstrikes, intelligence and ground operations, and still Hezbullah leaders, in the middle of the conflict with all the complications that entails, were able to contact the hundreds of rocket launch sites to turn off the tap just like that.

20 days of Israeli operations, and the Hezbullah leadership is still at large and exercising total command and control.

(The other option is that each of the missile firings has been individually ordered, which at a hundred firings a day also displays a robust communication system.)

  • And, it seems, honoring the ceasefire called on the account of Qa'na by thge Israelis.

  • I still think this latest Israeli/Hezbollah fight is just the continuation of the conflict begun when Israel was installed in the first place in 1948.

  • Lew, yeah.

    Guy, to some degree, yeah. If you want to talk root causes, it's not Hezbullah, it's not even Israel, it was the post holocaust decision to place an Israeli homeland THERE. It could've been placed in Montana for instance, but instead it displaced and took the land of millions in the middle of a region ogf their great millenial enemies.
