It would be nice if we were providing air support with B-52's over Syria. Shake up Hamas's head quarters.

FOX News now reporting that Reuters says Israeli helicopter has been shot down in Lebanon and has footage of burning wreckage. Not totally confirmed yet.

Jerusalem Post:

According to an Al-Jazeera report, an Air Force jet was downed over Lebanon Monday afternoon.

The IDF denied the reports after an initial investigation.

Could be a drone.

Also, boots on the ground could be SAR.

Careful putting too much stock into early reports.

FWIW, sounds like all the reports on the plane so far are coming from Arab media. Hopefully they're exaggerating/lying. Again.

Sirens going off in Haifa and Mike Tobin's camera area shows two rockets that just made landfall in Haifa. Two in the sea and two on land visible behind him.

Mike is giving us a lot of live 'shots' - gun, camera, and rocket. Hope he stays safe.

According to an Al-Jazeera report, an Air Force jet was downed over Lebanon Monday afternoon.

We just watched footage of it on Al Arabiya TV. They're saying it was a Lebanese helicopter shot down.

?????

Since they are coming from Sour (Tyre) the rockets are coming from further away than the rockets yesterday. Mike Tobin is estimating it might be a distance of 40 miles, meaning these rockets are going further than earlier ones.

I hope Israel attacks Syria. The jerks are supplying the bad guys with weapons. How come they do not go to the route of the problem?
