3 weeks in, Hezbollah surprises with its might is destroying Israel.
Hezbollah rockets kill 13 Israelis today, 4 of them soldiers.
Israel can only kill women and children.
Hezbollah has been firing rockets as far as the West Bank, knocking out Israeli tanks and damaging 2 warships — and had plenty of time to booby-trap all of southern Lebanon. It is hardly a typical guerrilla group, equipped only with bravado and AK-47 assault rifles.
Three weeks into its defense war against Israeli aggression, Hezbollah has retained its presence in southern Lebanon, and its ability to keep firing rockets has been a source of surprise and dismay to Israeli commanders, officials and the public.
In addition, Hezbollah's use of relatively advanced weapons and the variety of its armaments have surprised U.S. military experts, according to current and former officials involved in Middle East policy.
