Yesterday, Hizbollah announced that it had killed 35 Israeli soldiers. Turned out that they had not killed even one.
I would not trust Hizbollah's news, websites, anything!
Israel is doing a fine job destroying Hizbollah missiles.
The fact that Israeli troops do not stay in any of the villages where they fought, is not because they lost, but because they ACCOMPLISHED their mission, and there is no point in staying and occupying Lebanon.

Yes, they are winning. They won every previous time the Jews invaded. Even the Jewish media is now virtually conceding that Hezbollah cannot lose, and the Jews are now pinning their hopes on it being disarmed by an international force. Fat chance.
See, for example, the International Herald Tribune:
"For Hezbollah, however, victory means simply avoiding defeat. Hezbollah and its leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, will be perceived by many Muslims to have won by surviving the war and keeping the capacity to fire even short- range rockets into Israel.
Gidi Grinstein, a former Israeli negotiator and director of the Reut Institute, a research group, calls it the "90-10 paradox." Israel can eliminate 90 percent of Hezbollah's fighting capacity, but Hezbollah can still declare victory and claim that it fought the mighty Israeli Army to a draw.
"At the end of the war, they'll have a narrative and so will we," Grinstein said. "It's all about perception."
Hezbollah will argue that it withstood three to five weeks of fighting with the region's most powerful army, supported and equipped by the world's most powerful army, the United States.
And Hezbollah and Nasrallah will be hailed by many in the Arab and Muslim world as heroes and new Saladins, whose religious faith was transmuted into astounding bravery rarely shown by the huge Arab armies of the secular Arab states that fought Israel in the 1967 and 1973 wars.
Shlomo Avineri, a former Foreign Ministry official and professor of political science at Hebrew University, said that Israel could never win in an Arab narrative.
"If Israel had won in the first week," he said, "Hezbollah would say that it was a victory of the United States, which provided Israel the time, weapons and money."
The problem for Israel is much more complicated, Avineri said, because "everything is likely to end in grays."
What will help to define the real results of the war, he says, is the mandate of any multinational force, particularly whether it calls for the disarming of Hezbollah."

Hezbollah are running and dying.
They've even doomed the nation that hosted them.

I think in this battle only the civilians are losing their lives, The Israelis are winning because their military is addicted & love to kill innocent people and so far are successful. Hizbollah likes to fire rockets & the r doing it.

if we saw the results in ground battlefield, yes hezbollah is winning. they defeated israel in every single battle. israeli was expelled from bint jebail and other lebanese region. what they can only do is killing civilians via airstrikes, where their enemy has no air force
