#1 Evacuate all the remaining civilians this time. No civilians will make it harder for the Hezzies to sneak back. Any more crap, and their IAF can level the place.

#3 This is a war of attrician with the Hezb below the surface. It's important to seal off passages and never let up, so the Hezb goes without rest.
There will be Israeli casualties, but they must continue to collapse the tunnel structure and gain ground.

#4 I believe most civilians are gone from that town anyway. Once Israel clears it, I believe they will watch the area with UAV assets and just blast anything that tries to go back in.

#5 Ahmadinejad has been making about a apolyptic threat per hour today compared to only two a day the past week.

The general rule of thumb is that when Muslims threaten, it is because they are losing or they fear losing.
