The least they could do is help the people that hid their Katyusha missiles and other armament in their HOUSES for them. 
Yes, houses. The Israeli army is finding

The Israeli military has largely been unable to stop these strikes. The reason is that unlike conventional armies, Hezbollah doesn't keep its weapons in armories. It hides them in the homes of supporters, in remote valleys and caves, and in small factories and industrial workshops scattered across Lebanon, according to Israeli and Lebanese military experts and the group itself. Ardent members willing to die for the movement are assigned to protect these sites, many of which are said to be booby-trapped.Karby leggett, Wall Street Journal

And it looks like Hezbollah is getting the shit kicked out of them despite claims to the contrary. First they say they're ready for a full-scale war, now they're ready to negotiate. My opinion. Pummel them into Hell. See how many virgins are really waiting for them.

Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, told a Lebanese newspaper yesterday that his organization sought an immediate cease-fire and would accept the Lebanese government as its negotiator. It was a dramatic change of tone for the Hezbollah leader, who 10 days ago said in an audiotape addressed to Israel: "You wanted an open war, and we are ready for an open war." Sheik Nasrallah, who is in hiding after attacks on his home and headquarters, offered no details. But Lebanese officials said the militant Shi'ite group still insisted that any deal include a prisoner exchange, the payment of reparations and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the contested Shebaa Farms region -- conditions Israel is unlikely to accept. Casualties from the exchange of rocket fire were lighter than in past days after many civilians have moved away from the border. Thirteen persons were slightly wounded in Israel, where 39 have been killed, including 22 soldiers. The Lebanese death toll stands at almost 400, including 20 soldiers and 11 Hezbollah militants.
