CNN TV just had a reuters report that israeli troops have landed in the northern isareli city of balbeck.

IDF officialy has no comment.

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

[mmyers]

Why is this huge??

[rahbert]

Baalbek is in the Bekaa Valley, close to Syria.

[SF Republican]

a little confusing - are they in N Leb or N Israel?

[1rudeboy]

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

northern isareli city of balbeck.

It is now.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

It may not be huge, but it is most certainly series.........

Special Forces going to grab Nasrallah?

[Hurricane Andrew]

Ahhhh....that's just what they'd LIKE you to believe ;)

[SittinYonder]

Baalbak is close to Syria in Lebanon.

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...

[epluribus_2]

rocket launchers?

[thoughtomator]

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.

[timsbella]

Taking on Syria? Game on! Go team Israel!!!!

[GeorgiaDawg32]

and HUGH..

[dinoparty]

Any idea what Israel has in mind strategically?
