Strike and dissapear.. if you level a whole region there's nowhere to disappear to.. I'm sure they have bombs that can impact below ground.
Your second point.. I would assume they had the technology to survey the whole Lebanon at the same time.

America gave Isreal bunker busting bombs, the same ones they supposedly used in the mountains of Afganistan.

they still have to know where they are, obviously hezbullah have been using camoflage and stealth tactics to avoid giving away their position, israel certainly has the capability but its lacks the intelligence and the determination the other side has.
what i really don't understand is they say these rocket lanchers hezbullah has are mobile, therefore as soon as they fire their rockets they are gonna get the fuck out where they've just fired from because they just gave their position away, so whats the point of israel bombing hours later and they usually target buildings but surely these thing would be carried on trucks or trailers?

Good point
Don Seer:
vietnam was a problem because from above nothing could be seen due to tree cover..
the "bombing from above" thing only works as a way to knock out larger concentrations of people/weaponry/logistics like roads/railroads/airfields etc.. just like in iraq.. the "shock and awe" made the country crippled.. but they still had to push manpower into position
the reason the US lost vietnam and is having trouble in these places is because eventually you do actually need people on the ground.
another problem is that some soldiers on the ground dress as civilians to avoid detection so easily.. from above thats even harder to tell..
I TO DA GEEZY:
1. Hezbollah fighters have the tendency to resemble civilians the moment they hide their gats away. Hence they become indistinguishable, especially from the air, unless they are in action.
2. The IAF strives to minimize harm of civilians. This is why Lebanon isn't a big sandbox yet. This is why the IAF strives to strike only at
conspicuous targets.
