Writing this as a reminder to many in the comments who ask about Hezbullah's casualties and lack of acknowledged Israeli casualties.

I've explained it a few times, and will do again so briefly, because my thoughts are not very consistent now:

1- This is an unprecedented type of battle/war between Hezbullah and Israel, where neither is operating at highest capacity and due to the difference in abilities (and tools), Israel has an advantage in how to operate

2- Israeli soldiers are not operating in danger, and are mostly located in secret and/or secure location near the border area. The Israeli army is exclusively operating from air, in safety, and utilizing efficient and modern tools to attack and detect. Israeli soldiers are only operating recon operations and are on guard, but not offensive operations, not even ATGM attacks

3- Aside from drone attacks towards Israeli bases, where several successful attacks resulted in Israeli casualties, Hezbullah is forced to operate in the Lebanese border villages and outskirts to engage Israeli armor and equipment at bases and deploy in those areas for defense and rest when retreating from the forested areas. These movements put the fighters at risk, and subject them to attacks. The Israeli recon soldiers are operating to detect any suspicious movements, and call the air force to attack.

Moving from forests to houses is not easy, and is detectable, as Hezbullah doesn't build tunnels into people's houses.

Rocket launch teams also have to retreat from operation areas to houses or underground tunnels. Or anyone from the battlefield to back home. This is all dangerous, especially that fighters aren't staying in the battlefield but rotating.

4- Back in 2006, Hezbullah suffered much higher casualties in the first two weeks as the Israeli attacks were from air only. However after the Israeli army attacked on ground, in raids and part of their invasion, Hezbullah's casualties decreases to a level that on some days Israel had more casualties than Hezbullah. Israel even has the highest number of casualties a day vs Hezbullah in 2006.

Israel's failure in 2006, in terms of invasion has many reasons, one being their hesitance and lack of will and determination to accept casualties and suffering. Hezbullah was aided by God, defending with a few against hundreds.

On the other hand, Lebanon sufferered a lot of civilian casualties as a result of Israeli attacks in 2006. About 248 (up to 251) Hezbullah fighters were killed, however 1,000+ Lebanon civilian murdered.

So imagine, that two weeks period, extended to 10 months, what's happening then is happening now for much longer with better tools and abilities and way more accurate intelligence.

5- Hezbullah considers anyone fighting in south Lebanon is like a martyrdom fighter, as south Lebanon is a very dangerous zone to operate from. This was dictated by the type of this battle, where the limitation in the fighting and lack of escalation in forcing Hezbullah to offer less protection than wanted to its fighters.

To explain this point better, Hezbullah is firing 10-20 rockets a day, maybe 30-50 tops. On special occasions 100-200 a day. So imagine because of the current stage in this war and the will (+need) to keep it limited and not full fledged, you are putting at risk members of your rocket units to fire few rockets, exposing the launch site and them to danger.

In a full fledged war, you'd fire the full load, dozens from each launch site, hundreds an hour, thousand/s a day from all around, causing chaos at the Israeli bases and population centers. This makes the launch site and fighter achieve more vs what are the possible risks and losses.

So imagine it as, these honorable fighters are presenting themselves on an altar of sacrifice. Yes I refuse to believe otherwise and refuse to assume that this is Hezbullah's peak of ability. We know them well, 1993 1996 2000 2006 2011 and so on

6- Hezbullah is still using 122mm and smaller munitions, refusing to utilize higher caliber weapons like Fajr rockets (M302), a weapon known since 2006, despite 10 months in this battle.

Hezbullah for some reason, Hezbullah's leadership for reasons they are better aware of and the importance of, are operating with their hands tied to their backs.

Why would Hezbullah not fire a Burkan rocket at an Israeli settlement when Israel destroys several buildings in a Lebanese village?

Hezbullah is steering the war in way, I do believe as: "Accept losses now, feel like the underdog, operate at low capacity and hope the war ends. If the war ends, less strategic weapons used, the better and more we'll have for later. If war doesn't end, we will operate freely, and we will use these weapons when they mean something and cause the damage was want. This isn't the final battle, this is one of the battles".

His eminence (may he be protected by Gods own elite angles) implies that clearly, when he says that if a widescale war happens, one that involves an actual intense Israeli air and ground war, they will operate without any redlines, rules, or limitations.

(Okay now I'm distracted and forgot what I want to say, idk sorry I'll continue maybe later)
