The unnamed sources are quoted by the Palestinian Authority-based news agency Ma'an as saying: "The Lebanese resistance is preparing a retaliation parallel to Israel's military actions. Hassan Nasrallah will address the people of Tel Aviv and warn them to evacuate the city within one hour. As soon as the delay ends, hundreds of heavy missiles will start landing in the city, which has been divided into squares in order to let damage reach every inch of the city. An estimated 500 missiles are expected to land in Tel Aviv in a short period of time." The Arab sources further said that the Hizbullah has been very careful in cultivating its public image, in order to increase the surprise effect of the planned barrage on Tel Aviv. The war, from the perspective of Nasrallah, has not yet begun, the sources said, adding that other "surprises" planned by the Hizbullah include more kidnappings of Israeli soldiers from along the Lebanese border. Also claiming to have "surprises" in store for Israel is the Gaza-based Islamic Jihad. On Tuesday night, the terrorist organization claimed to have fired a Katyusha rocket at Sderot. The Katyusha is a more deadly rocket than the Kassam, and is being deployed against Israel in the north of the country by the Hizbullah.

Cthulhu is that you? Did you get the fruit cake we sent?
The fruitcake is what doomed you, human.
Yesterday they were launching one a minute. They have the numbers. I don't know how quickly they can launch 500 before they're sent to Allah, however.
I just hope they don't get lucky and hit the refinery in Haifa. That would be the trigger for much bigger action IMHO. You start taking out Israel's capacity to make fuel and I believe you'll see Israel attack the ring leader states.
"Doomsday" sounds a lot like the Samson Option. I think what he was getting at, was that if Tel Aviv is attacked, matters will escalate beyond control, at which point, Israel may have to invoke the Samson Option.
I'm unfamiliar with the "Sampson Option". Is it somewhat like our "shock and awe", i.e. overwhelming air, land, and sea power against the enemy?
The Samson Option is one in which Israel once and for all defeats its enemies, while incurring its own destruction, a la Samson in the Bible.
"The Arab sources further said that the Hizbullah has been very careful in cultivating its public image, in order to increase the surprise effect of the planned barrage on Tel Aviv."
Hizbullies are confusing the Israelis with the msm, if they think their carefully cultivated "public image" has lulled the Israelis into some sort of complacency.
They are nothing more than cowardly wife beaters. They target women and children and then cry like babies when a man stands up to them.
"But if they did, Israel will end Hizbulloh."
If they did, kiss Tehran goodbye. Israel will launch an all out missile attack on every Iranian military installation.
Be prepared for 5 dollar a gallon gas.
Hmmm...
At the same time, would you feel that Canada destroying airports in Maine would encourage you to control the WHCL?
Even if you werent much of a fan of the WHCL, you may be excused for starting to feel... a bit WHC yourself?
Thus, Canadas actions wouold be counterproductive?
Much better if Canada didnt bomb your airport, and worked with you to deal witj WHCL... JMO
Ahhh, I see. Thanks. I don't want to see that option enacted, then. I'd prefer the Covenant Land Option instead......wipe out everyone and everything and assume total and complete control of all the land God covenanted to the nation of Israel, like they were commanded to do in the first place. Thanks for the info. - Joe
How do the facts on the ground really change if Israel doesn't clean out Judea and Samaria?
If the US failed to control the WHCL, I would expect retaliation.
Even if you werent much of a fan of the WHCL, you may be excused for starting to feel... a bit WHC yourself? Thus, Canadas actions wouold be counterproductive?
Listen, United States: GET YOUR 'ROGUE' ELEMENTS UNDER CONTROL AT THE LOCAL / POLICE LEVEL, or FACE THE WRATH OF THE CANADIAN JUGGERNAUT.
Pure and simple.
I don't know how to post a picture, but the spider can be seen here:

I would expect Israel to kick things up a notch and go after Iran and Syria if this happens.
The Sampson Option is like MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction, except it would spread to include all of Israel's naughty neighbors, minus interestingly enough, Iraq. Specifically it has to do with the size of Israel and the fact that Israel cannot afford to lose a major city, especially Tel Aviv.If a major poluation center was in danger of being lost, Israel would strike with total force.
Recepients of Israel's wrath would include Iran and Syria. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan are on the short list. France could be hit symbolically.
Sharon once said "Arabs may have the oil, but we have the matches."
It can't be repeated enough...the ill-prepared, poorly supplied, elite guard of Mother Russia couldn't make a dent cleaning out the Afghan caves during their occupation of said country. Us? We brought the caves down around them with superior firepower. Tough luck, Ivan.
