Israeli military maps Hezbollah bunkers

A few thoughts, as you look at those maps of southern Lebanon provided by the IDF to the Washington Post.

Israeli intelligence is not an oxymoron. They are only showing us a fraction of what they know.

If Israel released the photos now for the purpose of convincing the world what a grave threat it faces from Hezbollah, they are completely wasting their time. The only pictures concerning Jews that ever moved the world were pictures of Auschwitz and the smoldering crematoria – and the effect wore off decades ago.

Hezbollah has rearmed itself to the teeth (under the watchful eyes of the UN) but Israel has only itself to blame. They recently had their chances to lop off Iran’s tentacles in Lebanon and Gaza, and through timidity and tentativeness they blew both.

They are very few second chances like that in life, and absolutely nothing to indicate that Israel would act any differently if there were.
