Is it so obvious that they've lost?

A few days before the ceasefire rocket attacks were at an all-time high - does anyone have figures for the last few?

Nasrallah is still alive, presumably along with the other members of the Hizbollah leadership, Israel has been drawn into Lebanon yet again in what is sure to be an expensive and bloody affair, a substantial portion of world opinion has hardened against Israel. On top of that, Hizbollah soldiers performed impressively when it came to actual ground fighting as opposed to just chucking rockets blindy into Israel - this will cement the reputation they paint of themselves as a true force to stand up to the 'Zionist crusader'.

I think that considering the strength of the Israeli response, I would be very very happy if I were Nasrallah.
