The Winograd Commission devoted a special chapter to the battle of Bint Jbeil and especially to the deadly clash on 26 July. The commission concluded that what was described as a "division-sized battle" was in reality no more than a "series of limited engagements between IDF forces and Hezbollah soldiers on the eastern edge, and to some extent on the western edge of the town." According to the report the failure capture Bint Jbeil became "a symbol of the unsuccessful action of the Israel Defense Forces throughout the fighting."
