Sobering Commentary from Israel on Air Campaign

Here is a sobering commentary from Haaretz.com. After discussing the well-intentioned air campaign, the commentary says that an exclusive air campaign will fail to end Hezbollah, and ends thusly:
Israeli leaders who have not considered this will discover in the coming days the disadvantages and limitations of the aerial offensive. Then they will be faced with a tough dilemma: Should they finish off the aerial operation with a diplomatic process, which is liable to rehabilitate Hezbollah, or should they finish it off with a ground operation that could involve heavy losses and entanglement in Lebanon?
One way or the other, the illusion of a magic solution is about to burst. The Israel Air Force is trying – but not succeeding – to do all the work on our behalf.
