IDF engineer and infantry forces today utterly destroyed a Hezbollah headquarters in the western sector of southern Lebanon, at what until 2000 was the site of the Israeli Karkum position. Prior to demolishing the structure, the forces identified and destroyed a number of missile launchers, a cache of anti-tank missiles, and a motorcycle used by Hezbollah terrorists to reach and then flee from the sites from which they launch missiles into Israel.
"The operation's purpose was to scour Karkum, if there were Hezbollah terrorists to kill them, if there were bunkers and weapons, which we knew there were, it was our job to search and blow them up," said Lieutenant Colonel Yishai Efroni, deputy commander of the Baram formation. "As you see, we demolished the post and raised the Israeli flag, and now the D9 [armored bulldozers] are finishing flattening the place."
Lieutenant Colonel Efroni tells of how we have come full-circle: "In the year 2000 I was a battalion commander who was among the people who demolished the [Israeli] post, before that I was one of those who built the post, and now we're destroying whatever is left once again."
bttt
bwa ha ha haha!! terrorist hq's is destroyed!! I love it!
Since they destroyed the motorcycle should it be assumed they either leave things as they find them or destroy them but take no trophies?
BOL
OMG, I almost choked on that one :o)

"You must have heard they have photographer opening at Reuters, eh???"
I heard rumors that there might be a few openings at Rooters.
My resume says, "Will photoshop and lie to make Israel and America look bad!
Also, will bid lower than GHG when using dead bodies to set up photo staging."
Maybe they figured it would be booby-trapped.
That was really funny. But now there is beer on my keyboard. And beer hurts much more than milk, coming out my nose!
"A little off topic, do the IDF drop kosher bombs?"
To do so puts them in a pickle.
Imagine looking at your grandchildren and knowing, from your own experience, what their lives will be like. Even their deaths.
That's the kind of tough talk I want to hear from our commanders.
