Die Hisbollah verteilte ihre Raketen jedoch an Milizen in Dörfern, die es verstanden, die Raketen gut vor Angriffen aus der Luft, vor Artillerie und suchenden israelischen Drohnen zu schützen, die aber nicht in der Lage waren, diese wirkungsvoll gleichzeitig gegen die selben Ziele abzufeuern.
Hezbollah, however, distributed its rockets to village militias that were good at hiding them from air attacks, sheltering them from artillery, and from probing Israeli unmanned air vehicles, but that were incapable of launching them effectively in simultaneous launches against the same targets.
