I thought this could be a new thread for today. BurbankKarl's thread did well yesterday.

Lebanon Radar Destroyed. Major-General Eizenkot, head of the General Staff Operations Branch: “In the evening hours we destroyed all of Lebanon’s coastal radars. The reason for the radars’ destruction was the part they played in the attack on an Israeli missile boat on Friday.”

tons of misinformation?

[Txsleuth]

I don't know...I am horrible at math and statistics..

BUT, I know one thing, it is very unusual for California to have Texas beat by TWICE as much...and THAT is awful.

I have a feeling that the border control wars that have been going on here for the last 6 months has really affected the donations this time...

BUT, that is okay, we will make the goal..it just might take longer..and $$$$$ from different people.

Seems Drudge pretty much takes the weekend off unitl Sunday around 6:00pm, when he puts up the siren prior to his radio show(which I never miss).

Have there been any updates on the Israeli soldier that Hamas kidnapped?

[CAluvdubya]

Ali, I haven't seen or heard of anything. SoCal would know better than I, though. The only thing I have noticed is the skies overhead have been more quiet the last two days.....no maneuvers? The planes and helicopters had been pretty active up until then. I have no idea if that has any importance or not.

None that I have seen.

“In the evening hours we destroyed all of Lebanon’s coastal radars. The reason for the radars’ destruction was the part they played in the attack on an Israeli missile boat on Friday.”

So the radars, owned by the Lebanese military, were used by Hezbollah and perhaps Iranian soldiers to launch attacks on Israel and international shipping.

I'm just getting started on this thread, so this may already be answered.

Are our troops being put on a higher level of alert? Stay safe!

Little too soon to expect that, check back mid-week.

In the immortal words of Colin Powell, "First we're going to cut it off, and then we're going to kill it."

One step at a time.

He's as good as dead. The Israelis are not going to focus on him now but rather on upcoming operations in Syria.
