TOW missiles are nasty things.

Hezzies do have advanced anti-tank weapons. Seems to be the weapon of choice even on Israeli infantry.
To: Flavius
Looks like two tanks, not a dozen.

Doesn't the burning tank look more like an M-1?

Those are Israeli Merkavas - which like any recent MBT draw lots of inspiration from the M-1.

Looks like the front track got hit by one of the more modern ATGMs that Hezbollah got from France or Russia via Iran/Syria.
The rear track looks like it might have popped smoke (started to generate a smoke screen). Neither one looks to have been equipped with the Israeli anti-tank-missile-defense system.

Israel has put plans for a new ground offensive in Lebanon on hold to give a chance to cease-fire efforts, senior government officials said Thursday, a day after Israel's Security Cabinet approved a major expansion of the monthlong war.

Look at the difference between the front fender of the burning tank and the Merkava. Looks like two different kinds of tanks.

None of that stuff is cheap - the IR cams look like they are of recent production, and they're not cheap trash, either.
The lens on the bottom picture's camera is *Russian* and should be of pretty good quality.

You're right - the rear track is a Merkava. Front track is too small to be an Abrams (not that the Israelis have them, I'm just thinkin in terms of Photochopping).
Front one is probably a Magach 7.

They must be using that new math. I only count two tanks in the picture.
And while the first tank is certainaly in flames, the second tank looks like it might be making smoke to mask its position.

I see in the photo of the radios a PRC25/77, but cannot make out the brand of what looks like a ham radio set. The military sets on the top are not familiar, IDF?

it seems to me that bringing all your tanks and troops right up to the border and letting the whole world know about it makes you a sitting duck for the Katushas...
why is Israel doing this?.....they should take a little territory to make a sufficient buffer for their own country.....Lebanese could still live there and probably would be HAPPY to live under sane conditions....

These are pictures of the first two. Rueters is working on pictures of the rest. Ignore any similarities between these two and the other ten.
