I suspect AT guns are effective in defence, but using them offensively makes them vulnerable. I think Hezbollah's strategy is working just fine. They have provoked Israel into an unsuccessful and unpopular attack, undermining them politically whilst boosting their own standing.

Both sides continue with some low-level fire and counterfire -- fairly predictable really.

Interestingly, USA media accounts seem to indicate more hezbollah casualties resulting from Israeli gunfire following the "cease-fire" than during all of the preceding month. It would seem the cease fire is their best tactical move yet.

So, did the IDF "draw-down" the civilian-seeking weapons first or is there something I'm missing.

US media accounts?

As in reports on the radio and tv networks here int eh USA. Not sure whether they are drawing on direct observations, press releases or some combo thereof.
