That some were alive and only the terrorists targeted, it was considered a victory for Hezbollah. As I have said before, Hezbollah and Hamaas are NOT intrested in your gee-whiz technology that can single out 2 people out of 1000. They are intested in how many of that 1000 you can kill and if you can do it repeatedly.

If you have a look back at my post, where I said "I'm not saying it would, but it should" then you'll have the answer to your question. The point I was making is that Hamas/Hezbollah are not fighting the exact same war as Al Qaeda is, they just have some common interests right now. They are merely working for the elimination of the Israeli state.
Militant Islam has a loftier goal and would not cease activites if Israel was one day pushed into the sea. Which is why I didn't put the murder of Israeli Olympic athletes in Munich on the list of battles between Militant Islam and the West.
