It seems to be a bit of a misuse of the term "preparing the battlefield" too. One presumes that all of Lebanon is not "the battlefield", and hence that what is going is more like strategic bombing or the like. Preparing the battlefield would refer to the areas where it was expected that fighting would occur, with the object of reducing enemy forces and preparations prior to attack. This is not really what is being speculated about here.
