Just watch. I hope the Israelis recall this tactic.
Better still - I hope they read that post!! It's very possible Hezbollah have done that.
There ARE connections on this board.
I've emailed the rumor to everyone I know in Israel.
If anyone on FR has links/family there, kindly do the same, as it will trickle to the correct people.
From the link:
"The plan was to plant 25 enormous mines under the enemy trenches and then blow them shortly before a major offensive, planned for the summer of that year. The operation was postponed until the summer of 1917, but when it took place the results were spectacular.
More than 1,000,000lbs of high explosive were packed into underground chambers along a seven-mile front. On June 7, 19 of the mines detonated in the space of 30 seconds in the biggest series of controlled explosions yet seen. Buildings within a 30-mile radius rocked on their foundations, and the bang was heard in Downing Street. In Switzerland, seismographs registered a small earthquake.
As many as 6,000 German troops perished in the inferno and Messines Ridge quickly taken by General Sir Herbert Plumer’s Second Army. The Battle of Messines was regarded as the most successful local operation of the war."
The muzzies have had time to do just this, and no doubt HAVE DONE this.
