In the 2006 Lebanon war, the IDF was caught by surprise at the extent of Hizb’Allah’s bunker network. They had not done there homework in intelligence. Well its 2011 and The IDF knows everyone of Hizb’Allah’s positions and bunkers. Unlike the last war, they will fight total war style and will treat every Lebanese Shiite village as a military base. They will not care about civilian loses or the opinions of the “International Community”. The IDF has now made public Hizb’Allhs’s positions in Lebanon.
The IDF has released an aerial map of Lebanon revealing the location of some 1,000 different Hizbullah military sites and facilities. The map was published on Wednesday in The Washington Post.
According to the map, which the newspaper said it obtained from the Israeli military, Hizbullah has around 550 underground bunkers throughout Lebanon, around 300 surveillance sites and another 100 or so additional installations.
The bunkers are likely being used by Hizbullah as command posts as well as storage centers for the large amounts of weaponry Syria and Iran have transferred to Lebanon since the Second Lebanon War in 2006.
According to the map, most of the facilities are located in southern Lebanon where Hizbullah stores most of its short and medium-range rockets inside close to 200 different villages. Hizbullah is believed today to have over 40,000 rockets and missiles, including several hundred long-range missiles that can hit targets in Tel Aviv with superior accuracy.
Clearly the IDF will be better prepared in the next conflict will fight in a way that break Hizb’Allah. It is an evil organization that needs to be destroyed.
