Hezbollah terrorists fire a missile from the southern Lebanese city of Tyre.
In an operation like this, there is going to have to be some probing of your enemies defenses. Unfortunately, you can end up get hit with some strong resistence at first.
I'm sure the IDF will adapt and overcome any weakness in their plans.
"I'm sure the IDF will adapt and overcome any weakness in their plans."
Yes, I agree. In fact, it sounds like they've already begun adjusting as they approach the next city. This exposure will prove valuable for future combat training.

The US should airlift Mookies men to Lebanon..get em out of Iraq and into the line of Israeli fire..of course they'll have to find a cemetary to hide in
I just lurk on these threads but that was not a nice thing to say.
Okay, I'll bite -- "In, Definitely Not"?
Hizballah's Terror Weapons
LGF reader Amy emailed pictures of the objects Hizballah is placing in their Katyusha terror rockets, and the damage they cause. (The Israeli one shekel coin in the first picture is for scale.)
