Will Longer Range Missiles 'Backfire' on Nasrallah?
Hizbullah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said his group's missiles would start hitting targets deeper into Israel, and warned he would not accept a "humiliating" ceasefire.
Deeper targets mean bigger missiles. Bigger missiles mean longer set-up/break-down times. Longer cycle times means better chance counter-battery arrives before launchers leave. Odds are this HezbAllah strategy will work better for Israel than HA (unless they launch the missiles from a hospital or UN post or such.)
