JERUSALEM – Hezbollah's sophisticated anti-tank missiles are perhaps the guerrilla group's deadliest weapon in Lebanon fighting, with their ability to pierce Israel's most advanced tanks.
Experts say this is further evidence that Israel is facing a well-equipped army in this war, not a ragtag militia.
Hezbollah has fired Russian-made Metis-M anti-tank missiles and owns European-made Milan missiles, the army confirmed on Friday.
In the last two days alone, these missiles have killed seven soldiers and damaged three Israeli-made Merkava tanks – mountains of steel that are vaunted as symbols of Israel's military might, the army said. Israeli media say most of the 44 soldiers killed in four weeks of fighting were hit by anti-tank missiles.

Don't ya think that's a good idea? You're crafty, the next time you complain about the bias in "the MSM" you could just wordsmith the article to your liking and send it to the original author or correspondent. Failing something like that just makes someone sound like they are in an echo chamber. I don't mind complaints but I also like to see solutions. Now, give it a rest. You're gonna have a stroke.
Thanks for reminding me of the correct location of the battle-I believe the Chechens had some real success against Russian armor also before the Russskis obliterated Grozny(and they have the nerve to lecture Israel-or the Chinese armored campaign against unarmed students in Tianenmen(sp?) Square giving them any moral high ground)ain't the UN a grand organization?
Sure, I'll give it a rest right after you go over to this FR thread and suggest a new rule at FR: anyone who claims a photo has been doctored by the MSM should have to submit their own photo from the scene proving the actual visual:

Stroke? Killing myself laughing, maybe...
Bull, I know anger when I see it.
It must be the anger at the illusive, shadowy, nondescript MSM. It's eating you up.
Let it go. Step away from the keyboard and sleep, sleeeeep. . . .
Hmmmmmm...... I'm no programmer, but I can make some pretty damn damaging script hehe. Even better if they use AV software they will be undetected!
That would be wrong though, and I would never do such a thing. /wink
Yeah, they're hiding in the smoke in that Reuters photo...
But don't forget Hezbollah. That's got me all riled up, too! And after all, supposing they're any more to blame than Israel is just my bias. Terrible. I just need to let go. 'Night, LeadPenny...
zzzzzzzzz
The Freakin headline is what pisses me off. What a sneering jackass it must have taken to put that together!!!
That would be great but I could never approve of it *wink*
Yes, this is the only real problem with the article, which has appeared other places with other headlines. I used the headline from the intermediate source where I got the article.
Hilarious cartoon! True, sad, and fully all at the same time!
