Israel Faces Unavoidable Showdown with Hizbullah
(Ynet News) Avi Issacharoff - Hizbullah appears more determined than ever to demonstrate its resilience and capability to strike Israel, even after losing thousands of operatives and senior leaders. Meanwhile, the Lebanese have watched the devastating images from Gaza and want to avoid similar destruction. Israel will likely have to launch a ground offensive in Lebanon and seize significant territory to force Hizbullah to retreat north of the Litani River and stop the attacks on northern Israel, since Hizbullah leader Nasrallah will continue to fire rockets as long as he can. His priority is proving to Shiites worldwide, and particularly in Lebanon, that he is willing to fight Israel to the death. It seems Israel has little choice.
