Israel should be wiped and jews should be thrown into the seaThat is certainly one of Hezbollah ' s longterm goals . But they did not try to do that in the two recent wars with Israel . Instead they wanted to make Israel look bad internationally which they accomplished via skillful media manipulation , to show that manforman they were roughly on a par with the IDF which they accomplished , partly via homecourt advantage and advanced preparation and choosing their battles , and that they had weapons that could strike deep within Israel and destroy hard targets which they accomplished by using weapons which struck deep within Israel and destroyed hard targets . What did Israel accomplish ? They killed some martyrs and destroyed a small fraction of Hezbollah ' s arsenal . Oh , and bought some corpses in exchange for releasing umteen convicted terrorists .
