An Israeli soldier maneuvers an armored personnel carrier at their position along the Israeli Lebanese border. Israel was amassing thousands more reservists on the Lebanese border to stage ground incursions aimed at destroying Hezbollah positions, warning it would not rule out a full-scale invasion despite mounting calls for a ceasefire.

One reason the first thing I do when I get up or have been gone for awhile is look at the news trackers...I'll never be able to keep up otherwise...

Sorry it took so long, I had it sourced wrong, not Cordesman, instead Global Security. Must be getting old...

"On November 17, 1999 the Government of Israel requested a possible sale of 700 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) tail kits, MK-84 inert bombs, testing, spare and repair parts, support equipment, contractor engineering and technical support, and other related elements of program support. The estimated cost is $45 million.

On 18 July 2002, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale to Israel of Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) tail kits as well as associated equipment and services. The total value, if all options are exercised, could be as high as $27 million. The Government of Israel requested a possible sale of 1,000 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) tail kits, 50 MK-84 inert bombs, testing, spare and repair parts, support equipment, contractor engineering and technical support, and other related elements of program support. The estimated cost is $27 million.

The process for delivering F-16Is to Israel began in earnest in February, 2004. Israel expects to receive 102 F-16Is in total.

On 1 June 2004, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale to Israel of Joint Direct Attack Munitions as well as associated equipment and services. The total value, if all options are exercised, could be as high as $319 million. Specifically the Government of Israel has requested a possible sale of: 5,000 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) tail kits (which include 2,500 GBU-31 for MK-84, 500 GBU-31 for BLU-109, 500 GBU-32 for MK-83, and 1,500 GBU-30 for MK-82 bombs).

You may have posted this to the wrong person. I don't have cable or high speed internet. I avoid web video.

 Looks like we are stuck unless somebody has a really detailed roadmap-like map of Southern Lebanon. We are going to need one if we are going to follow events in the coming days.

I've got a computer atlas that gives me Avavim, but don't have any way to upload maps. The coordinates for Avavim are roughly 33º 05' North, 35º 29 East, altitude 45 miles.

Marun ar Ras is roughly 2.5 miles northwest of Avavim, over the border.

Both near the extreme SE tip of Lebanon.
