This is good news:
Forty to fifty percent of Hizbullah’s military capability has been destroyed in the six days of the IDF counter-attack following last Wednesday’s Hizbullah raid in northern Israel, The Jerusalem Post has learned.The IDF, it is understood, believes it needs another week or so minimum to achieve its military goals in terms of alleviating Hizbullah’s capacity to threaten Israel.
The IDF further believes, it is understood, that it will be given at least that long to continue its actions, in light of the G8 nations’ essential support for Israel and those nations’ branding Hizbullah and Hamas as being responsible for the current escalation.
It’s also pretty revealing, although not surprising, that Israel seems to have a pretty clearly defined (defined by the G8 and probably privately some moderate Arab leaders) window of opportunity.
