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.
I expect a serious retaliation.
I am thinking last night was just a preview of upcoming events.
Ok, enough of this screwing around. Time to lay waste to Lebanon. It's us vs. them. I choose us.
Fox reported a while ago that Israelis were speculating on a possible intercept because the missile split apart as it fell to the ground.
Well I've got my CNN Pipeline working so I'll be able to get fresh images.
dang it...the image posts and then corrupts..I apologize to all
Now, now, now. ;-)
While this may not be popular...the reality is we are not barbarians. Their are many Christian in Lebanon who have no choice but to just try and stay alive. They cannot fight Hezzies..for that matter I am sure there are many Lebanese that would rather have Israel take control...Just my thoughts...On the other hand I sure say the Israelis have had enough of this crap. It is time for all countries to decide what our futures will be.
Walking away again is not the answer....Sorry for rambling but I am really &^%##.
Way to go they got the launcher per Fox
Fox News:
Israel has just announced they destroyed the launcher that fired the missile at Hadera.
It's unfortunate that they're in a war zone, but that's exactly their location. If I shed any tears for Lebanese in this, it'd be for them, but if their deaths are necessary for Israel and the West to win, so be it.
Hizbullah: We attacked Hadera with Khaibar-1 rockets
The Hizbullah organization declared on the al-Manar television station that its members attacked the city of Hadera with Khaibar-1 rockets. A statement issued by the organization said that "the attack was carried out following the criminal act of massacre in the town of Qaa, near the Syria-Lebanon border.
About 33 people were killed in an Israel Air Force bombing in the town Friday afternoon, some of them Syrian citizens. (Roee Nahmias)
