That's a problem you very much need to correct; especially because there are now damned female suicide bombers. There already were children, who were suicide bombers, but they have all been boys.

Ran out of space, that was from Michelle's website. Didn't someone write a book "Postcards From the Fringe"?

I think that's a drop tank, but I could be wrong.

You are correct.

According to what I read, the plane crashed 'on takeoff'.

According to Sky News there are huge explosions in Tyre.

They are speculating that there is a ground battle going on.

Showing a live picture, and it looks like the whole city is covered in smoke.

And no Katyushas into northern Israel over night!
They don't launch at night because the positions are seen too easily.

True, but nothing in the morning either - so far. Let's hope it stays that way.

PS: Used Google Earth to look at the terrain along the northern Israeli border. Quite an altitude difference between the north and the south side of the border in many places. No wonder it is a hard slog for the Israeli troops to dislodge Hezbollah.

That is why the Israelis have hung unto the Golan Heights so doggedly.

Yes, I have visited the Golan heights and it would be the last thing ever I would give up in any negotiations.

Sitting up there will keep the Syrians on the up and up. However, with Syrian guns on the Golan hights huge areas of Israel would be at their mercy.

Have you heard the story about the Israeli spy who saved the Israelis at Gaza?

He attained a position in the Syrian high command. When he took a tour of Golan he realized the Syrian positions were undetectable so he convinced the Syrians to plant trees to shade the soldiers.

The Israelis targeted the trees and wiped out the Syrian defenders.

They haven't come with any new reports.

There is a breaking news banner saying there are a "series of huge explosions heard in southern Lebanese city of Tyre"

Was that Elie Cohn?

But, Sky News is reporting that Omar Bakri Muhammed tried to board one of the British refugee ships out of Lebanon yesterday, but was refused.

Bizarre.
