Hizbullah will keep on winning until Israel plays by a new set of rules

Hizbullah did more than honor a promise when it wrapped up its exchange of prisoners and bodies with Israel on Wednesday: The resistance movement also closed yet another chapter in the long history of its struggle with the Jewish state - and, again, did so in a manner that prevented the Israelis from dictating the [...]
