A bitter pill to swallow, but overall this is healthy for an organization. I would be interested to see the same metrics applied to the Gaza campaign as well.
And on another note, this would be something to remember for the security contracting industry. The methodology sounds simple and straight forward, and could possibly be applied to company operations or incidents. The point being is that we might be able to learn something from the Israeli version of Kaizen. –Matt

‘Hizbullah had better intel than Israel in 2006’

Hizbullah had better intelligence information than Israel and better control of its forces during the Second Lebanon War, according to an official IDF scorecard compiled recently by a top navy officer.
The article – which was given an award by Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi – was written by Lt.-Col. Robi Sandman, and was published in the latest edition of Ma’arahot, a monthly journal on military issues.
During his research for the article, titled “How the Arabs are preparing for the next war,” Sandman asked 24 senior IDF officers to grade the army and Hizbullah in 10 categories, on a scale of 1 to 10.
