Israeli pilots 'deliberately miss' targets Email This Story Print This Story

Israel's chief of staff, Major-General Dan Halutz, had vowed to wipe out Hizbollah's missile threat within 10 days. These claims are now being mocked as rockets rain down on Israel's north with ever greater intensity, despite an intense and highly destructive air bombardment.

As one well-connected Israeli expert put it: 'If we have such good information in Lebanon, how come we still don't know the hideout of missiles and launchers?... If we don't know the location of their weapons, why should we know which house is a Hizbollah house?'
It looks like the U.S. isn't the only country to get a little bad press from it's own people. Israel is having a tough time with Hizbollah, especially in locating and destroying their missile sites. I can understand why as Hizbollah dresses in civilian clothes and launches missiles in heavily populated areas. This serves both as an easy way to disappear and to make it look bad for the Israelis if they do attack a populated area.

Israel is considered the best army in the world. They will have no problem wiping out hezbollah. Remember israel has never lost a war, even when they were out numbered 12 to 1 and they still won without out anybodys help but their own.
