Somewhat remarkably, its been 18 years and Hzbollah yet shows no signs of having air defenses that can have even come close to shooting down an Israeli jet.

Yet again we see shouting and screaming in the streets (of Beirut) among the dust, people being pulled from the rubble, anger and fury, and not even one air defense rocket launch against Israeli jets. Maybe there is a good (or cunning) reason for this that I am missing, but it has certainly eluded me, given that they have “had 18 years to prepare for this”.
