Were the tactics different between both?
Were the results different ?
Is the ground differnt?
We must addmit that Gaza is only 360 square kilometers while the attacked area in Lebanon is much greater than that , add to that Gaza ground is flat ,while lebanon is mountain buld area ,covered with trees and shrubs , that would make using the same deffence strategy is not valid.
Also another factor .although Gaza is a limited area , but also it is sieged from all sides ,either with walls or locked borders , while lebanon has a strategical open depth which may provide shelter ,food and may be weapons ,while in Gaza there is no strategical depth , food is a problem ,medication is a problem shelter is a problem and over all puchasing weapons is very much of a problem ,
Thinking of population Gaza within this area counts to 1 500 000 people , while the attacked areas in lebanon has much less people living in a bigger area ,
In both cases Israel started with air raids , Gaza targets were limited , so to make the first air raid significant it must be huge ,with many targets , but as long as it is limited , so Israel must add targets which of no millitary importance ,but in similiarity more close to Iraqi case , in Which USA wanted to end up a regime , with all of its significance , so Israel hit universities , ministry buildings power stations TV station while in Lebanon they went on bridges , streets ….expected methods of communication
In Lebanon as well in Gaza , Israel tend to make the other party suffer of loss civillian casualities eithr wounded or dead , the number of dead was in Lebanon arround 2000 ,in Gaza 1400 and over 5000 wounded One factor as well from some areas of field battle civillians fled from a part to another ,in Lebanon there were a safe shelter , while for Gazans even once they sheltered in school ,the school was hit with 43 deaths , One significan point was shared between both , once there were a ceasfire , Israel wanted to have the civillians as hostages , keep them as a burden on the rest of population , but in Lebanon appeared Nabeeh Berri who called for civillians to go back to their homes even it was demolished , the tremendous ammount of people who went to streets with all sorts of transport just was a great victory ,which appeared in Gaza the same thing by the call to open schools so all refugees went to their demolished homes and schools started,
Victory or not Victory
they won or they lost?
this will be a question for a good time , Israel said mission accomplished , Hamas said they did not win
one Israeli goal was to free the prisoner
one Israeli goal was to dismantle Hamas
One Israeli goal was the distruction of Hamas
If israel did not get any of these goals would that be claimed victory by Hamas
But over all were Gaza war pre -arranged by having some 3000 Palestinian soldiers trained some were financed by who ever , waiting the air raids to be done and Israel give the green light so they would enter Gaza and hold matters including the daily living of people
