It was reported here, more than 24 hours ago, that Israel has three divisions (10-20,000 men each) on the border and a fourth division on the way.

It was also reported here that more than 5 brigades (1/3 of a division each) of IDF was across the border.

It was also reported here more than 48 hours ago, that Israel would implement a news blackout from the front areas, and it appears to me that this is true. All reports from the front are vague and /or coming from Lebanese sources. Haaretz is reporting about captures of criminals.

From here, you can use your own judgement to decide what is happening or is not happening.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

;-)

I will say this....Hezbollah says it has lost 100 men, and Hezbollah lies, on the light side.

I thought it was the Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Dan Halutz who told reporters that in the last days 100 Hezbollahs had been killed:

Halutz said that close to 100 Hezbollah gunmen have been killed over the course of the IDF offensive.

"At this time, I can say that many rocket launchers have been destroyed, terror infrastructures have been destroyed and also nearly 100 Hezbollah terrorists have been killed, from all levels and all ranks," Halutz said. "We will not publish names we know of."

"Fighting against Hezbollah is taking a heavy toll on [the group]," the army chief said. "The fact is that they avoid publishing the number of their losses, the names of their men that were killed, and the fact that they feed the press dishonest information [shows] they are disconnected from reality."

Have the Hezbollah ackowledged this it is really good news, because as you said they would lie on the light side.

I should've known that it's only true if FR says it's true!

I don't have the heart to tell my hubby his info wasn't correct (as far as we know, at least). He NEVER gets to tell me any news because I'm always one step ahead of him via FR.

I've finally gotten him to lurk a little bit...the next step is to have him actually sign up. He won't be sorry!
