Although the Israeli aggression has entered its fourth week, the Israeli forces are not able to make a decisive military achievement against Hezbollah. Moreover, the Israeli retreat in the end of the second week from Otarion, Maron el Ras and Bent Jbil is a real defeat incurred by the Israeli ground forces.

The Israeli forces then intensified its attacks and committed massacres. This made the Israelis wonder how useful this war is and question the ethics of this war which Israel is staging on the Lebanese.

There are voices in Israel now criticizing the war on Lebanon and war against the repercussions of this aggression. These voices emerge from their care for Israel's interests and need to improve its image in front of the world.
