Airstrikes are effective but only up to a certain point. After awhile you run through your list of targets and you start making stuff up and in a crowded area with civilians, that is bound to lead to bad PR. Ground occupation at this point seems half hearted and desparate. Unless something drastic happens this is becomming a big waste. What Hezbolla lost in men and rockets will be more than made up for the bad PR Israel is getting.
