But you know what? Israel is lucky that this wasn't a major war, and Israel is also lucky to be sometimes to open a democracy in its post-war inquiry's in which everything will come out pubicly.

That is history.
Are you suggesting the battles conducted in Lebanon was some sort of a picnic the IDF decided to have? In war or combat, there can be nothing half way home or a lark.
I can't believe that you were so short of equipment that you did not have water bottles/ jerricans/water trucks? What operations were the IDF on? What about ammunition?
Behind enemy lines you are on your own without the basic essentials? The enemy is a damn fool that they did not poison the water supplies they abandoned!
Doesn't the IDF advance on an axis and don't you open up an axis of maintenance?
I must say you are very fortunate to have dumb Bedouin as your enemy!
I have seen the Arab army personnel and I know they are pretty dumb and most importantly, very lazy!
