"I don't think they can airlift enough of a strike force into the rear. No, it still looks like they're drawing the bear away from the honey jar long enough to go in and snatch it. Hope they get the captives too."

Yes, they need to get heavy equipment in quickly if they want to hold the ground long. If this is really a big move, look for an armored division coming up the anti-Lebanon mountains.

Boy does this show how important air power is? The Hezzies in S. Lebanon are cut off from HQ and have to decide whether to fight it out in S. Lebanon or risk a run north to defend their base. Meanwhile the Israelis have cut most of the roads from Syria, cutting off retreat, resupply or Syrian intervention.

Could the Israeli's be planning a spear thrust to link up with them? How far would that be anyway, I wonder?

"I don't think they can airlift enough of a strike force into the rear."

Was that originally a George Michael quote?
