This
essay would not have been possible without the protection of a powerful Muslim cleric and these pictures are possible due to the same cleric. So take a moment to look at them. They are pictures of the destruction wrought on Hezbollah's heart, it's strongest point in Lebanon and tell me they 'won'.
They could have flattened all of Haret Hreik in a day if that’s what they wanted to do. There is nothing Hezbollah can do to stop that kind of assault.
Hezbollah’s supposed “victory” is a Pyrrhic one, if even that. And it should serve as a warning. Military historian Michael Oren explained it to me this way at the end of the war: “If [Nasrallah] has enough victories like this one, he’s dead.”
