Almost two years have passed since Israel’s war against Hizballah in 2006, and the balance of power is far from positive from an Israeli point of view. One of the major remaining questions is that of deterrence. Although the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) performed disappointingly during the war, the army’s image and its deterrent capability is not as bad as some might perceive. This conclusion is supported by two events that have taken place since the war: the September 2007 Israeli air force attack on the alleged Syrian nuclear reactor; and the February 2008 bombing in Damascus that killed Hizballah terrorist, Imad Mughniyeh. Neither event drew a reaction from Syria, raising the question of why Bashar al-Asad did not respond. One can only assume that the reason was the performance of the Israeli air force during the war. The air force was very effective and precise, supported by good intelligence, and able to destroy Hizballah’s long-range rockets in the early days of the war.

Ripple effect of Hezbollah-Israel prisoner swap - 24 Jul 08 There have been contrasting reactions to last week's prisoner swap between Israel and Hezbollah. While there have been celebrations in parts of Lebanon, in Israel, the deal has raised questions about the price it has to pay to bring home its soldiers - dead or alive. This has now led to the appointment of a special committee for future negotiations on prisoners exchange. Al Jazeera's David Chater reports from Jerusalem.

Pro-Israel lobby has warped U.S. policy Pt.2 Two scholars who created a controversy earlier this year when they wrote that the pro-Israel lobby exerted too much influence over U.S. foreign policy said Monday that the recent Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon was yet another example of what they view as a dangerous tendency. John Mearsheimer, a University of Chicago political science professor, and Stephen Walt, a professor of international relations at Harvard University's Kennedy School, said the U.S. government's unstinting support for Israel's recent war in Lebanon once again placed the agenda of what they call the Israel lobby ahead of U.S. strategic interests.
