11. Still, the Israeli government has announced its intent to re-bomb Beirut. |

Part of the problem is that Israel seems to be much more casualty-averse than Hizballah. Yes, they are sending in more ground troops -- but they're also stepping up the air war.
Has a guerrilla force fighting on its own ground ever been defeated through arial bombardment? I'm no war historian, so I really don't know.
