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.
Zichron Yaacov is halfway between Haifa and Hadera.
Goodbye...
Answered my own question. Here is a link to a CNN article.

AT some point the US jumps in and relieves Israel's burden.
i didn't know that...can't be much...hell there almost all plastic now....Mazda recently welded steel to aluminum on the rx8...i thought that was trick,,,,,we need to scrap corporatism and reintroduce a real empire...all your oil, titanium, bauxite..dey belongs to us...if we're gonna take the heat for being an empire , why not really have one???and get rid of the muzzies...BUT WE"VE GOT THE MAXIM GUN!!!!
Ideally yes, but the question is how? Throwing in with Israel would bring a world war. That may be where this is heading anyway, but it is something to think about.
that's better than it being halfway bwtn Hadera and TelAviv
mixed metaphor ping!!
Seems to be pulled
That is part of the dilimma, we get involved, then it goes from regional to international to............the other big boys with nukes aren't going to sit on sidelines and watch.
It is scary when the planet has to rely on Iran to act like an adult.

Naz is going around acting like King of Lebanon, and the lebanese government isn't calling him on it. They alternate between hangwringing and walking in lockstep with him.
And I suspect we oversimplify the interconnections between syria, Iran, Lebanon and Hezbollah by using words like puppets and proxies...
What is Sadr up to?
See ya later.

On problem. I would never carry a Glock or a .40 S&W. I prefer .45 ACP in a 1911!
