I really don`t know why except that Hamas sees more Israeli caualties once IDF ground forces are thrown into the conflict across Gaza crossings. Any ground incursion is risky, but still keeps hamas`leadership on the run or bottled up off the streets. Israel did not "lose" the 2nd Lebanon conflict-they just didn`t perform and strategize as well as they are capable as well as inept politicians micro-managing it.
