We all know that a Phrrhic Victory is a great “win” on a battlefield that so devastates the apparent victor that it cannot recover.
We may have just seen Hizbollah suffer a great “Pyrrhic Loss” to Israel in Lebanon.
Israel won the battlefield, it killed more people than Hizbollah did, it destroyed (or aborted) vast numbers of Kitusha rockets and Lebanon is in shambles.
Yet Hizbollah held off Israel for 25 days, killed many of their soldiers in fighting, and apparently left Israel with no choice but to withdraw.
Hizbollah began as a problem to Lebanon and the entire Arab world. It now stands as a great hero and new leader of that same world.
Hizbollah has been a provider to the people of food, medicine and other needs and is now shifting into high speed operation to clean up Lebanon, repair the houses, provide money to the people (up to $12,000 per person), and is taking over as a leading functionary in the affairs of Lebanon.
