Friends true and false (Israel/Hezbollah)

[Tyrant]

One thing really stood out for me:

An old but fearsome weapon forged by the Russians in the days of their fateful struggle with the Germans, and given a girl’s name, Katyusha, keeps fretting the always-so-safe Israeli hinterland all the way to Haifa. Israeli Apache gunships, navy’s Saar warships, Israel’s best Merkaba tanks were met with precise missiles. The frustrated invader covered the roads and villages of Lebanon with hundreds of charred bodies of Lebanese children; but remarkably few Hezbollah fighters were killed or taken prisoner. They wield a secret weapon: Hezbollah is the first-ever Arab body the Jews failed to infiltrate. Israeli intelligence did not know what weapons they had and what plans they had prepared. Hezbollah warriors did not oblige the Jews and did not commit suicide a-calling “Allah is Great”: they fight, defeating the enemy and destroying the twin myths of Israeli invulnerability and Arab impotence.

from the article:

they fight, defeating the enemy and destroying the twin myths of Israeli invulnerability and Arab impotence.

Since Hezbollah is avoiding direct clashes with the Israeli military, preferring to lob random rockets into random locations in Israel for maximum civilian damage, this article itself is a myth. Arab impotence is proven every day the cowards of Hezbollah hide from those in Israeli uniform. If they're so tough, why are they hiding in civilian neighborhoods?
