Instead of risking the lives of young IDF soldiors to push back hezbollah fighters firing rockets from southern gaza, couldnt it be a better idea to send a few dozen unmanned predator drones into southern lebanon and directly target the launching sites, i know this is new technology, but isnt israel all about hi tech stuff now days, so maybe sending in remote controlled drones is the answer to the targetted killings of hezbollah operatives firing rocktets in the next israel-lebanon war
, if one crashes its still cheaper than the health costs associated treating a badly injured IDF soldior

A few dozen predator drones? Hezbollah has 10s of thousands of missiles hidden in caves and elsewhere all across Lebanon. The katyushas can be pulled out of hiding and fired quickly.

Relying on air power failed in southern Lebanon and General Halutz lost his job as a result. The IDF knows its capabilities and is correctly preparing for a ground invasion.

A Katyusha launch. Also known as "Stalin's organ", the Katyushas are relatively cheap, easy to operate (with virtually no setup time) and can be used in proximity to Lebanese civilians, thus, they're ideal for an organization like the Hezbollah. source: http://www.sciencebits.com/Katyusha
