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.
Well, looks like lights out for Hezbullah.

Isn't it odd that there have been no videos of long lines of refugees (Lebanese)? Are the hezzabaloos keeping them from leaving (which would seem normal) or are they really putting their money where their mouths are and sticking with the terrorists?
Combat soldiers are a special breed.
"Israel captured five and killed 10 terrorists".
Dio, you don't have the lingo down yet. Terrorists are civilians(mostly women and children). Terrorists seldom die.
LOL!
I know what you mean.
(looks like we're about the same age)
I say lets embed them with the hezzies, coverage probably wouldn't change very much, if at all, though.

Does this power plant have some military value because of its location in the Bekaa Valley?
I was still over in the 8/03 thread talking to myself! Lost track of time here.
Thanks for the new thread Karl
You can bet your Bekka it does!
I thought you were pretty young. And sharp as a tack.
Dare I tell you both that I actually saw Donovan in concert?
Punny in the night...groping for a proper response, but I have no flash of inspiration...
