I think that it is irresponsible by FOX to show where Israeli tanks are positioned at Gaza, and to show where the rockets are landing. This gives information for targeting.

I think the confusion is in part for real, and in part disinformation. Israel has a military planning problem because they don't know WHEN some international force is going to be brought forward, nor how long their plans will take to execute. In addtion, though, they have done more than anyone expected from the way they talked at the start, and that has helped to surprise and confound the enemy, I'm sure.

I agree that that is their plan, however, I believe they will find the implementing more difficult than the supposing.

Just how can we assess any statements from terror regimes for a grain of truth. They are pathological liars.

another hit live. kiryat shmona.That is at least 5 in the last 10 minutes. I hope Palkot takes cover, cause if anyone from Israel was watching that broadcast, they are going to be hit very soon.

I am still confused as to the goals of the IDF in southern lebanon, just the other day they were talking
about driving to the Litani river, now its a 6-8 km buffer zone, which is it? Or is it both, they intend to
drive to the Litani, but will defeat and destroy Hizbullah in detail within 6-8 km of the border so a
international force can go in.





It depends on who you talk to. Per some sources, Israel dropped leaflets warning civilians to leave well north of the Litani yesterday.

As of 0500 EDT, the latest data I have, all IDF ground forces are close to the Israeli border.

Yes but Palkot also just gave information to Israel about a launch site he claims is very close to where they are reporting.

It might be a good idea for him to leave dodge about now.

Of course they will. Just as Hitler found it more difficult to conquer the world than he thought at the outset. That is why it's so plainly a futile waste of lives and treasure to bring on some grand war scheme. These nutcases and haters with delusions of grandeur never "get it" that at some point their targets will get their act together and everything will come back on them.

That's why the Hezbos are not able to hit buildings. Our media is giving them directions.

Hezbollah has announced an intent to target Tel Aviv on further strikes in Beirut.

With three points being the tipping point, and a current count of two, I'd like less potentially ambiguous signals before adding to the count.

Still, this isn't good news.

A definition of good news is probably in order, thoughts?

Doesn't Israel have the ability to shoot down the long-range missles (but not the short-range ones)?

Senior Hizbullah officials have ordered the terror organization's “missile unit” to launch attacks against Tel Aviv if Beirut is attacked.

I believe that I heard the IAF was bombing some locations in Beirut this morning, but I have not heard that Tel Aviv has taken any incoming.
