Ditto for moving in tanks while knowing (as you seem to believe) what arms Hezbollah had and where they had them.
You are relying on your speculation, contrary to all evidence, that Israeli intelligence is virtually omiscient. Basing strategic plans on fantasy is a pretty risky endeavor. Though, sadly, not without recent precedent.

No, I am not saying they are omniscent. I think it is somewhere between omnescient and complete lack of knowledge, and what shows up in the press on a contemporaneoous basis is probably not the whole of the facts.
