I dont get it?!?!?

This conflict in Lebanon has been going on for over 4 weeks now and there seems to be no sign that it is going to stop. What began as a campaign to rescue two captured soldiers has now turned into a massive bombing campaign to eliminate Hezbollah. When was the last time you even heard mention of the two soldiers. They have been lost and buried under the onslaught of Israeli bombing raids. On top of this Israel claims to be meetings its objectives and eliminating Hezbollahs ability to strike Israel with rockets. Why then did over 200 rockets hit Israel on 3 of the last 4 days. The highest total nubmer of rockets to land in Israel since the conflict began. It seems to me that if you are eliminating their ability to fight and attack then the rocket attacks should diminish, however they are getting stronger and larger by the day. Israels army and military might is being exposed here. Their sabre rattling is wonderful and they are meeting their objectives...if those objectives are to kill as many civilians as possible and destroy the infrastructure and residential areas of Lebanon in the sake of "fighting terror". They are breeding more terror than they eliminate and have not reached any objectives. Hezbollah is as strong as ever, killing 15 Israelis yesterday, 12 of them IDF soldiers yet the military power of Hezbollah is getting weaker, if you ask me its seems stronger, more focused and more effective. This cease fire resolution is looking more and more like it is going to save Israel. Not from being destroyed, but from further embarassment, their military is being coutnered by a militia and the world is seeing them for what they are. Yet everyday on the news we still hear their praises being sung, I dont get it. When is the world going to open its eyes and see the true terrorists in this equation, the true occupation?
