2006 lebanon israel war
Israel’s war objectives were not defined consistently, wanted to both destroy hezbollah, return israeli soldiers, halt the firiing of rockets, etc
Ultimately seen as a failure, the critical issue was that israel assumed everyone subscribed to the same understanding of objectives, whereas hezbollah’s objective was to simply survive
General Dan Halutz stepped down after this war, advocated that ‘vicotry is a matter of consciousness’
