The Zionist Invaders Lost More Than They Claimed

By kilamxx

The Zionist Occupation Forces which invaded Lebanon recently lost more than the 116 soldiers that they claimed to have been killed. The actual number runs into several hundreds and maybe more than a thousand Israeli soldiers dead. This estimate is based on accounts by visitors to Southern Lebanon who have seen evidence of the large number of Israeli soldiers killed.

I tend to believe the higher estimate more than the official figure given by the Zionist Forces.

For a start, if one were to refer to the mainstream media, the number of Israeli tanks destroyed by Hizbullah anti-tank missiles was either 20 or 30, depending on which “official source” you refer to.

The reality is you will find more than a hundred Israeli tank wreckages in Southern Lebanon at this moment if you ever get the chance to visit that part of the country. A few Malaysians that I know of, who have just arrived back from Lebanon, are willing to testify to that. And I hope nobody tries to tell us that these are just obsolete tanks bound for the scrap yard dumped there in Lebanon by the Israelis (sheesh!).

Now, if one were to take a conservative estimate of one crew member out of the total of 4 in each Merkava tank gets killed when an anti-tank missile pierces an Israeli tank, then there are already at least a hundred tank crewmen dead. A more realistic estimate would be 3 dead for each tank hit, as described by this report.

Now don’t tell me if armor plated tanks can be easily destroyed by the anti-tank missiles, those Zionist infantrymen could have gone about their business without much interference by the Hizbullah fighters. With the tactics that were employed many more hundreds of the invaders must have been killed.

There is no denying that the Israeli Occupation Forces were badly beaten by the Hizbullah fighters’ fierce fighting spirit.

Israeli soldiers have been shaken by the fighters' skill and commitment, describing them as an army, not a rabble. "Even I have been surprised at the tenacity of these groups fighting in the villages," Timur Goksel, who served with UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon from 1979 to 2003, said. "They have fought far beyond my expectations and they haven't even committed all their fully experienced troops yet."

Israeli officers regard Hezbollah fighters, many trained in Iran, as highly motivated but not careless of their lives in the manner of Palestinian militants often intent on glory through death. Mr Goksel said: "Hezbollah is not afraid of the Israelis. After 18 years fighting Israeli troops, they see them as vulnerable human beings who make mistakes and are afraid like anyone else."

Why else would the Zionists agree to a ceasefire without first accomplishing its stated objective of pushing Hizbullah up to the Litani River?

This present “ceasefire” should be viewed as just a lull in the continuing war that the Zionists are waging against their neighbors. No doubt they will keep on repeating their mistakes. They will continue to invade their neighbors (or at least get some other country to fight for them as the case in Iraq). And of course they will be beaten in battles.... just like they were beaten in Lebanon.
