Now this I understand. Too many barrages, too many places hit that weren't confirmed to be Hezbollah occupied at the time of the launch, yes, I agree. I got the impression from Duke John's post that his position is "Well, since Israeal seems to miss and hit the wrong targets, no more firing artillery into Lebanon". That I don't understand. Proportionality of response is an important consideration.Originally Posted by Pannonian
I'd be really interested in Redleg's opinion, as an artilleryman, why he thinks there's such an excessively high amount of collateral damage in Israel's actions over the past few weeks (and yes, I know a lot of what they're doing is air strikes as well). But honestly, do you think it's that the Israelis are being sloppy/lazy... i.e. "Well, we have an intelligence report from a week ago that Hezbollah might be in that building, go ahead and fire a few rounds at it". Do you think it's intentional? Or is it the nature of what they're doing just leads to a lot of collateral damage?
