Hizbullah Prepared for the Wrong War
(Middle East Institute) Basem Shabb - Hizbullah's involvement in Syria means that jihadis with light weapons and mobile anti-tank missiles are facing Hizbullah fighters with similar weapons. Hizbullah's long-range missiles and short-range Katyusha rockets designed for a war against Israel are of little use. Chinese anti-ship missiles as well as concealed anti-tank missiles in south Lebanon facing Israel seemed of little military value when the real threat to Hizbullah came from across the long and ragged border with Syria.
