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.

We're not seeing enough robustness, enough forcefulness, enough determination on the part of the international force or the Lebanese army.
This is, as I said, not only the last chance for Lebanon, but the last opportunity for the international community to prove that that was not just a vote, but that is a real intention to make sure that Lebanon is free again and Israel is…
They have to be made to do so by the international community, by the United Nations and by an international force which will be there to make sure that they never are able, ever, to raise their ugly head again and return to what they have…
If that doesn't happen, then the whole purpose of what happened over the last few months and of the international community's resolve in reaching that resolution would be defeated.
