Success is always measured based on expectations. And maybe the expectations were too high and maybe some of the statements made at the beginning of this war created those expectations, but I know for a fact that none of the political leaders of Israel actually felt that a military operation can actually bring the soldiers back.
Gillerman discusses the expectations surrounding the military operation and its outcomes.

As we know, the Hezbollah is really just a proxy of Iran and Syria. This is not just about this horrible terror organization in the south. It's about Iran and Syria, who are financing it and using it in order to destabilize the region.
This war is not just about the safety of Israel or the freedom of Lebanon, it is about preserving civilization as we know it.
We believe we have the capability of making Hezbollah incapable of continuing its terrorist activities.
I beseeched and urged my colleagues at the Security Council not to play into the hands of the Hezbollah and Iran and Syria, because that's what they want.
