why Israel cannot find the locations where Hozballah are launching the missles from? with all sattelites & tec

Question

with all sattelite and technology which I know can take pictures to the number of the car, why Israel cannot locate the spots where Hezballah is launching the missles??

Answer 1

Because the launchers are simple pieces of PVC pipe and usually placed near schools, hospitals, mosques etc.

Also Hezbollah camouflages the trucks that carry the missiles as ordinary civilian vehicles so that Israel risks killing civilians if they shoot back.

BTW - satellites follow predictable orbits. It is a simple task to calculate when a satellite will be overhead - and when it will not.

Answer 2

They know exactly where Hezbollah has launched from by way of counter-battery radar, it's just that the launch crews are gone by the time Israel responds. Hezbollah launches from trucks disguised as civilian vehicles, then the truck gets out of there. That's why Israeli aircraft are destroying every truck they can find in Southern Lebanon, which obviously can make for a bad day for non-combatants.

Answer 3

They are finding them, and taking them out one at a time.

Realize that Israeli soldiers on the ground spot the trucks. They radio their locations to aircraft in the area which then track the launch trucks' movement by laser or radar. An apache attack helicopter then moves at the guidance of this "aircraft tracking" to quickly find the truck and turn it into a crater. With more Israeli soldiers entering the area each day, the success rate will only continue to increase.

It's a cat and mouse game. Eventually, the cat wins.

Answer 4

" Hezbollah has GOD on its side. "

Hezbollah is an ideology and a social and religious movement; not an ordinary army ! It will never be disarmed and will stay alive for ever.

Israeli's can drop as many missles as they want , kill as many as they can , and destroy the whole middle east with their high technology; but they can never eliminate the hatred that they have created in people's hearts and minds.

Every missle will give birth to the next generation of martyrs that will fight with Israel !

Answer 5

I suspect it's because most of the missiles Hezbollah launches are on mobile platforms (trucks, waggons, etc.)- that can moved around very quickly so as to avoid incoming Israeli attacks. It still takes alittle response time after a satellite gets a bead on a target- to take it out. -And you can be SURE that Hezbollah is not going to wait around to see what that response will be!

Answer 6

Because Hezbollah is a bunch of dirty Terrorists, and they launch the missles from various sites, and then immediately hide the launch equipment.

Answer 7

Because they are not trying too!
They are using Hezbollah as an excuse to kill as many people as they can.
They have turned the entire world against them. Only the Americans don't see the story because the media in US heavily censors every piece of news regarding the war.

Answer 8

Oh good god... please don't give the US any more jurisdiction on territory.... and in any case, why would they want it, no real natural resources, water, oil, gas etc....

I do have a better idea, gather up all of the Israeli's, put them on big planes and fly them to the US and allow them to settle there. Then we return the land back to the Palestinian people and let them get on with it.

Answer 9

Because Hezbollah is using mobile rocket launchers that can be set up, fired, and moved in not time.

Answer 10

Mobile launchers look like just about any other flat bed in Satellite photos. And, gee, they move.
