Israel is going for the long haul in time. I mean 5 and 10 years. As the people rebuild their infrastructure and it will take a long time in a cash strapped country. Lebanon's only real leader was tourism for a gain in their GNP. So as the people suffer over the next few years Israel is hoping that they realize that it's Hezbollah's fault for hiding in the infrastructure.
