This work is a study of the operations of The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) in the just-concluded Operation CAST LEAD against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. It studies, first, what did the IDF do to prepare for that operation in light of its harsh experience in what has become known as The Second Lebanon War that was fought against Hezbollah in the summer of 2006, and second, what possible lessons can be applied to the US Army. Chapters examine the conflicts' history, the nature and tactics of Hezbollah and Hamas, the tactics of the IDF and the belligerents' information strategies and operations.
