    KingsofWar cited:
    Have the realities on the ground in Lebanon and Israel since the war's end slowly chipped away at the argument that Hezbollah defeated Israel? When taking into account Hezbollah's mobility restrictions, infrastructural losses, domestic political opposition, 4 years of enhanced deterrence, to name a few, can it be said that neither side achieved victory? Even when considering Hezbollah's even larger weapons stockpiles?
    What I can recall, Hizbollah has not been involved in any exchange of fire with IDF, since 2006. The war was extremely costly for them and the rest of Lebanon, and Nasrallah does not want to repeat his mistake. Who achieved victory? If you ask an Egyptian who won the Yom Kippur war, he will say Egypt. After all they got Sinai desert back. Hizbollah, as an underdog, could stand up to IDF, which earned them a lot of respect.
    "Hezbollah's even larger weapons stockpiles?" Is it true, perhaps, or someone is building up a case. http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Wor...15661569?f=rss
