Israeli's have been preparing the ground for this troop drop we just mentioned.

IAF hits 5 Hizbullah positions in eastern Lebanon (Baalbek)


Israeli warplanes late Tuesday attacked at least five suspected Hizbullah positions near Baalbek in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, three hours before the official end of a two-day pause in the air war. Witnesses said fighter jets and helicopters were still above Baalbek. There was no information immediately available on what was hit or if there were casualties.


The ancient city of Baalbek, a major Hizbullah stronghold, repeatedly has been pounded by Israeli fighter jets since the fighting began 21 days ago. (AP)

If Bent Jbail is Hizbullah capital South, then Ballebek is Hizbullah capital NorthEast (the other "center of gravity" being south Beirut). I hope they dropped a bunch of air borne in there, i wouldn't want to be stranded in the Bekka if I was an Israeli
