When protecting civilians is weakness

In his televised speech yesterday Sayyed Hassan Nasralla said "Hezbollah respected the 48-hour lull this week by halting bombardments on northern Israeli settlements, although Israeli air strikes continued on Lebanon. But Israel understood the halt as a weakness on the part of Hezbolla"

Nasralla then offered to stop rocket attacks on civilian areas if Israel did the same. Israel's United Nations ambassador, Dan Gillerman, has now said that Nasrallah's offer was "a sign of weakness ... and he may be looking for a way out."
