| Senior officer: Hezbollah chain of command still functioning |
| 2006-07-16 |
| About 25 percent of Hizbullah's capabilities have been hit, a high-ranking IDF officer estimated on Sunday night at the end of the fifth day of Operation Just Reward. According to the officer, the group's chain of command is still functioning. He estimated that the Lebanese group would not be annihilated when the dust settles, only severely damaged. The officer predicted that the operation would end in the middle of next week. |

| #1 Reports are that hundreds of (or at least more than 100) innocent civilians have been killed by the Israelis; if we accept that as true, how many guilty civilians (they aren't an army so they must be civilians) have been killed? After all, Israel is not targeting the innocent - those are just the collateral damage of one of the most accurate military forces in the world. 25% degradation of Hezbollah capability doesn't sound too far wrong. |
