Here is the range of those "Katy's" rockets

Israeli President Shimon Peres claims that Lebanon's Hezbollah now has an arsenal of 80,000 rockets to bombard Israel -- double the previous estimate by Israeli intelligence and almost four times the number the Iranian-backed militants possessed during their 2006 war with the Jewish state. Lebanese Foreign Minister Fawzi Salloukh has dismissed as "lies" the claim made by Peres in an interview with the Kuwait daily Al-Rai published Sunday. "I don't know how he counted these rockets."
But the Israeli leader's claim has fuelled regional fears that a new conflict between Hezbollah and Israel is brewing.
There has been no independent confirmation that Hezbollah has that many rockets, although it has hinted at 40,000.
However, the allegation that Hezbollah, armed by Iran and Syria, has been able to amass such a vast inventory of rockets, some of them supposedly capable of hitting Tel Aviv, was seen by the jittery Lebanese as a possible pretext by Israel to justify attacking its tiny Mediterranean neighbor again.
Peres was quoted as saying that Israel was "not interested" in another conflict with Lebanon and that all differences could be settled through negotiations.
But, in a surprising disclosure, he admitted that Israel ran a large-scale espionage network in Lebanon.
That was the first confirmation by an Israeli leader that the Mossad intelligence service was involved in large-scale spying in Lebanon after dozens of suspected agents were rounded up by Lebanese security forces and Hezbollah since November 2008.
The main objective of the Israeli operation was locating Hezbollah's rocket and arms dumps, its elaborate defense system of underground bunkers, its leadership and its command centers linked by a difficult-to-penetrate, fiber-optic communications system.

Makes you wonder why the Israel’s were ram radding the “Iron Dome” project. Maybe there is something brewing.
Thank you.
No problem
80,000 missiles, most of them likely provided through United States taxpayer dollars.
That and the Israeli Air Force has the capabilities of wiping them out as soon after they give their positions away when they fire them.
Very true... The IAF has excelled in recent years hunting the sites out...
Israel needs to finally win the war 100%
Don’t back down this time, take enormous swaths of their land, take their oil, never let the bastards return.
Never!
And crush that abomination called the dome of the rock.
Yids rule!
I agree
Only takes one of those 80,000 to ruin your whole day.
BUT I have a feeling that if they go again, BiBi will not be an appeasing pussy lawyer and he will carpet bomb any area launching rockets Israels way.
80,000? The mooselimbs will be able to launch maybe 2000.
Go BiBi, use tactical nukes on the bastards.
Anyone want to argue my point? Feel free. But I have a huge file of the atrocities against the freedom loving Israelites. Take your best shot. I await.
Yep while the US tax payers paid to clothe, shelter, and feed them, Iran and Syria supplied the Terrorist
I couldn't agree more. Israel is a western democracy that only wants to be free to pursue their happiness. Does that phrase sound familiar?
However, they are surrounded by the most backward uncivilized misogynist foul-smelling camel-humping intolerant extreme punishment low-lifes on the planet.
Hey, Holder, here's some more hate words for you to arrest me for.
I despise misogynistic Taliban, al-Queda, and any other Muslim group that supports them. That includes CAIR, who has been known and BUSTED for the their connections to radical Islamists.
Oh, here's another hate phrase for you - I HATE Islamists! So when can I expect your Gestapo at my door? Stupid question. You'll just move your little "hate" enforcers without notification. Gonna disappear me?
Great post Navy Vet.I could not agree more.
Let them come.
