asked about these events Whitehut Spokesmen Giggles The Clown said he was “unaware of any such activity”

[TheBattman]

Its just those peace-loving Islamo-Nazi terrorists...

[Izzy Dunne]

I thought it might be the wild Presbyterians...

[Errant]

Must have had the blessing of Nasrallah and Hezbollah, if they’re not the actual ones who fired them.

[red-dawg]

There are unconfirmed reports that the IDF has responded with artillery fire into Lebanon

CNN Headline:
ISRAEL FIRES ON INNOCENT WOMEN & CHILDREN IN LEBANON.

[Errant]

Yep, while completely ignoring the atrocities committed by the brothers in Syria and Egypt.

Bounce some rubble with the arty and then kick the tires and light the fires. Unleash them for a day or three.

From Debka File: Residents of northern Israel – from the coastal towns in the West to Upper Galilee – have been ordered to go into shelters after sirens alerted the region to four rockets fired from South Lebanon. After returning fire, the IDF closed Galilee air space. Three rockets landed around Nahariya, Acre and Shlomi and further east near Kiryat Shemona. A fourth was intercepted by an Iron Dome battery. The rockets were launched in two volleys from the Tyre and Kleia regions of South Lebanon. No injuries are reported. Police are scouring the area for the fallen ordnance. Developing…

There are unconfirmed reports that the IDF has responded with artillery fire into Lebanon.

They can get a pretty good idea of the rocket origin with the telemetry data available almost instantly from Iron dome. Between that and the likely drone coverage of the area by Israel, the bad guys have to set up hastily, fire, then split before the counter strike arrives. Thankfully, that usually means poor results for the initial launches.

[Errant]

So why are the Shiites in Lebanon (Syria & Iran also) firing on Israel now? The Syrian rebels are Brotherhood Sunnis (Al Qaeda, Egypt, Libya, etc.).

[AU72]

ME chaos is spreading into Lebanon, now Israel.
This is what you get when you lead with your behind.

[edpc]

Easy. Common enemy. Draw Israel into the fight and (theoretically) the factions will unite against them, much like Mao and Chaing Kai Shek did against Japan.

Fight each other again at a later date.

[Errant]

If that is the case, and they are successful, all hell is about to break loose! It’s going to do so anyway as soon as Israel attacks Iran.

[edpc]

I'll set aside the biblical angle of it, since that approach doesn't appeal to muslims, anyway. However, if they just looked at it from a 70 year historical perspective, they'll see regional nations have united against Israel in the recent past with poor results.

Seems as though they suffer from the same delusions liberals have when it comes to policy and practice: It only failed because we weren't in charge.

Well......good luck with that.

[Diogenesis]

The White Hut laughed at slavery parades of nuns by White Hut allies,
at crucifixions of Christians in Egypt by White Hut allies,
the selling of captured girls in Syria by White Hut allies,
and the gang rape of US Ambassador by White Hut allies?

Seems obvious what they will do now.

[Pan_Yan]

Suprising that it came from Lebanon. Hezbollah has been pretty tied up trying to keep Assad in power; in fact they’ve sent large numbers of fighters into Syria. Of course Lebanon isn’t much more stable that Syria and it only takes a couple of people to fire a bunch of rockets.

[TurkeyLurkey]

Every day I wonder when...

[TurkeyLurkey]

Hezbollah is still very active in Lebanon.

[TurkeyLurkey]

One side is Truth and the other side is lies.
