Now that Israel has found 2 of the soldiers' bodies what will they do now?

I think these were two sailors that were on the ship when it was hit by Hizbollah launched Iranian missles. I don't think these are the 2 abducted IDF soldiers that sparked the bombing of Lebanon.

I heard an interview of an Israeli Diplomat and he was saying their response has been MEASURED. Will that continue?

Yes. Israel's fight is against the Hezbollah terrorist fighters, not the Lebanese. Not even their government.

Their goal will still be to do precision strikes, but I wonder how long it will be before the ground invasion. They can move rapidly. The Lebanese government has made no indication that it intends to use its armed forces to oppose Israel.

The call up of all the reserve Israeli soldiers is an indication of that real possibility.

Has the Lebanese army ever fought the Israelis?

Israeli Navy caught with pants down, they were. Again, will it happen?

Over confidence, fatal it can be.

SAILORS. They found the bodies of two of the four sailors missing from the Hezbollah attack on their ship. I hope that Israel continues to hammer these pigs until there's nothing left of them but grease.

I would venture to say that depends on what the legitimate Lebanese government does. It appears Israel is conducting surgical strikes on the Hezzies, not on Lebanon in general. The ball is in their court as to how this will play out, IMO.

If that Israeli captain was sitting off shore with his Phalanx system turned off -- even if he was supposedly depending on his Barak missiles -- his @$$ is gr@$$...

FReeper Jeff Head just posted some interesting information about this (don't know how to link his post here).

Sounds as if they were so close to shore that they didn't have time to respond even if the system did pick up the incoming threat.
