LEBANON

DEBKAfile via Rense: Hezbollah Using Iwo Jima Tactics To Baffle IDF

Notwithstanding the IDF's important battle gains at a number of focal South Lebanese points in the last 24 hours ­ including the latest raids on the outskirts of Bint Jubeil on the heels of the capture of Maroun er Ras ­ only one multiple firing rocket launcher (picture) and 6 single-barrel launchers have been destroyed.

This figure will certainly multiply substantially in the coming days. Yet it will not change the essential strategic picture or stop the rocket fire from holding northern Israel and more than a million inhabitants to siege.
