    EXCERPT:

    WEDEMAN: “It’s important to keep in mind that Hezbollah's strength beyond rockets has always been its guerrilla fighters who successfully fought the Israelis to a standstill in the 2006 war and going back from the mid-80s until the year 2000, actually waged a guerrilla war that forced the Israelis unilaterally to withdraw from Lebanon. So once Israeli troops are on the ground in the very rugged mountainous terrain of southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah has spent years preparing for this exact eventuality, we may see that they still have strength enough to pose quite a challenge to Israeli forces in that area.”
