I am wondering: What was gained?
1. Many horrible Jew killers were maimed or killed.
2. Hezbollah will be more scared of escalating into a bigger war, because they have no idea what will be inflicted on them next.
3. Hamas will be more scared of escalating into a bigger war, because they have no idea what will be inflicted on them next.
4. Iran will be more scared of escalating into a bigger war, because they have no idea what will be inflicted on them next.
5. Less men join the aforementioned forces because they have no idea what will be inflicted on them next, thus limiting their manpower, thus limiting their fighting power.
Etc. etc.
