"The incident is just one among dozens of examples of an enemy that has proven more resilient and better-equipped than Israeli military forces anticipated. After nearly four weeks of air attacks and ground combat, Israeli military officials say that they have killed only a small fraction of Hezbollah's fighters and that the group still has hundreds of launchers and thousands of rockets at its disposal. "What we face is an infantry division with state-of-the-art weaponry -- night-vision gear, advanced rifles, well-equipped -- deployed along our border," said Brig. Gen. Yossi Kuperwasser, who until last month was director of analysis for Israeli military intelligence. "They have some of the most advanced antitank missiles in the world."" (Notice the exaggerations by Israeli military propagandists. They need to justify their failures now by portraying Hizbullah as the most advanced army in the entire Middle East. Give Israeli propagandists one week, and they will start claiming that Hizbullah has the 3rd largest army in the world).
