Hezbollah of 2006 is different from Hezbollah of 2010 in terms its military capabilities ...which have developed significantly

"... Baidatz on Tuesday briefed the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that "today, Hezbollah has an arsenal of thousands of rockets of all types and ranges, including long-range solid-fuel rockets and more precise rockets."
He added, "The long-range missiles in Hezbollah's possession enable them to fix their launch areas deep inside Lebanon, and they cover longer, larger ranges than what we have come across in the past. Hezbollah of 2006 is different from Hezbollah of 2010 in terms its military capabilities, which have developed significantly.
"Hezbollah is in a tense spot between two different identities: Its commitment to Jihad and Iran, and on the other hand, its political considerations in Lebanon and the needs of the Shiite community. Therefore, it has quietly selected its current course of action. The MI believes it is not interested in another wide-scare confrontation with Israel, it fears it, but is preparing for it. The organization still publicly vows to carry out terror attacks against Israel."..."

Israel should still await the strike avenging the assassination of Imad Mughnieh. Then we will see how things develop!
