if true this is huge. Apparently this is an aerial assault. Looks like al-rooters just tipped them off.

It must be some sort of diversion. Countries normally don't attack themselves. :)

Israel has and will continue to pour more troops and air power into this thing until Hezbollah has very little infrastructure left. This will take a few weeks at best. Any talks of cease-fires are illusionary and to help settle financial market.

According to the map I'm looking at, it seems to be smack dab in the middle of the Bekka Valley.

I wonder if the IDF is working to head Hizbolla off at the pass? Remember all the trucks that were seen visiting suspected WMD sites in Iraq and then convoying to Bekka?

Just wild eyed specualtion...

This is the Bekaa Valley attack that we've been waiting for since 2003. Israel knows the WMDs are there and that they have to take them out before the inevitable WMD strike on the Israeli population.
