#4 They should launch a bombing campain across the southern lebanon were the known Hezbollah camps are to get a good body count. Even maybe make some thunder runs like the Baghdad operations to show just how useless Hezbollah is as the "protectors of Lebanon". Act like it wont stop until the UN steps up and the world stops it make the UN not the Hezbollah the power.

This all is a PR move my Hezbollah to look tuff and prove themselves the protectors the shield of Lebanon. If the Isrealis show just how weak and useless Hezbollah is all the while gettting to pound the Hezbollah rank would be a huge PR win for the lebaneese opposition and Isreal. Not to mention it would force hezbollah to lean more towards the political than military this will sepperate them more from Iran and Syria.
