Have you compared the numbers of dead and injured on each side? Israel was not getting the worst of it, which is one reason it wanted to prolong the conflict to try to do damage to Hezbollah. A few weeks (?) later, this is not looking like the wisest strategy, since Israel appears to have overestimated the damage it was doing. To Hezbollah, if not to Lebanon.

Israel attempted surgically strikes at the enemy. They alreted civilians ahead of time that they were going to attack.
That the enemy cares naught about civilian life, that it uses human shields and puts rocket launchers on the roofs of buildings it fills with handicapped children, is a bit problematic when trying to minimize collateral damage.
What's the over/under on this ceasefire anyway? I give it until Thursday.
