They will destroy the tunnels incl C3I and storage facilities at the border and many targets in the Bekaa valley. It will be a tough fight from and for both sides.

True- at least not broadcasting it so thoroughly would have allowed a little breathing room. It's a tricky time for Israel. Buildup time is extremely important for morale and the "fighting spirit" to engage..not that I've any doubt of the IDF's resolve and desire to whallop this enemy.

Just a timing thing. Not easy..

It really is a miracle that considering all the rockets that landed in urban areas, there were relatively few deaths. rockets just scored direct hits on 3 houses in Nahariya but nobody was home in any of them.

Lebanese defense minister: Army will fight ground invasion

By Haaretz Service and News Agencies

Lebanon's army, which so far has sat on the sidelines of the violence raging in the country, will fight an Israeli ground invasion, Defense Minister Elias Murr said on Al-Jazeera television Thursday.

"The Lebanese army - and I stress - the Lebanese army will resist and defend and will prove that it is an army that deserves respect," he said.

In most of the previous Israeli attacks, including in 1978 and the 1982 invasion in which Beirut was occupied, the Lebanese army largely stayed out of the fighting.

Some 20 Lebanese soldiers have been killed in strikes on their bases during the Israeli bombardment of Lebanon.

[Has the Lebanese army ever clashed with Syrian forces?]

Kofi as anti-christ. Nah...the Antichrist is going to be easy to love before he reveals himself as a snake. Kofi has already revealed his reptilian characteristics.

I don't care what anyone says... I say it's because of their infinitesimal body part (you know). That would explain the virgins at least.

No more information at this time. I surmise that this is a new statement derived from intelligence gathered after that bunker/mosque hit earlier this week.

I can't help but wonder how many of those who are fleeing to America from Lebanon are supporters of Hizbollah too. Possibly thousands. :(

The Hezbollah forces also are holed up in underground shelters, bunkers and tunnels -- all well-defensible positions. Maybe good time for these: A M67 "Zippo" of the USMC in Vietnam We could send a message first: "We wanted to make you a barbecue for your 72 Virgin going away party" Whoosh.
