Summary of IDF operations against Hizbullah in Lebanon 3 Aug 2006
(Communicated by IDF Spokesman)
Over the past day, IDF infantry, armored and engineering forces operated in southern Lebanon. The forces positioned themselves in the areas of Mis el Jabal, Mahibab Blida, Shihin, Rajmil and Majdal Zun, in the eastern part of southern Lebanon. At the same time, IDF forces established positions in the villages of Al Teibeh, Al Adeisa, Rab A-Tiltin, Aita a-Sha’ab and Maroun A-Ras and Bint Jbeil.
Yesterday evening an IDF soldier was killed and four more were wounded in exchanges of fire in the village of Aita A-Sha’ab. An IDF soldier was severely wounded and two soldiers were lightly wounded in the village of Mahbib.
In fighting throughout the day, IDF forces killed approximately 35 armed Hizbullah terrorists, and wounded numerous other Hizbullah terrorists.
In the area of Bint Jbeil, IDF forces identified and destroyed a vehicle carrying a Hizbullah missile launcher. Additional weapons were discovered by the force, including 10 assault rifles in the area around the village of Sheihin.
During the night the IDF carried out more than 120 aerial attacks in Lebanon:
6 missile launchers, including launchers used for long-range attacks against Afula and Haifa.
35 Hizbullah buildings, storage facilities and headquarters
Areas used to launch rocket into Israel, and roads and bridges leading to those areas.
A vehicle identified transporting weapons.
Ride. Wagner.
Well, the flares do tend to catch the eye.
They must be pretty sure they are not going to find much resisstance whereever they are going.
I definitely will.
Ali they go for one of the nuke sites, all bets are off.
I would like the apaches to play A Mighty Fortress as they flew over shooting. I love that hymn and it is so strong sounding.
all ya have to point out to debunk the controlled deomolition story is
1- how did they know where to plant the explosives--which floors the planes would hit
2-how did the demolition charges survive the impacyt and fire without blowing up
3- how did the detonation wire survive or if radio controlled how did that survive.
It's gotta be close to daybreak there now anyway.
Not much need for stealth at this point.
How could the press slant that? They'd still show cats in Lebanon.
I think we are going to find out this raid came in from the sea...flares over the water were reported.
God I love this place, nowhere else but here would you get a discussion of Wagnerian operas on a Middle East thread.
I would like the apaches to play A Mighty Fortress as they flew over shooting
Now that is an idea. I was in the birth house, and other historical areas of the composer while in East Germany
Oh Lord, I just got home from work. How far back do I have to go to find out what you guys are talking about?
I would bet the raid is over..daybreak is coming.
just up a small bit -
Commando raid on Tyre in process, apaches providing support
I missed the gist of it- does Loftus think Iran/Syria will send the guided missle (couldn't understand the name he gave to that one) to Dimona?
