I switched to opera browser ... and been to fox.com but links don't work for some reason.

Getting just the blue background? It looks like some kind of problem loading Fox's Javascript... I saw it yesterday and today on Opera, Firefox, and even IE when I tried it.

Try hitting reload (F5) a couple of times on one of the pages that won't load; once you get it loaded once, the rest will load okay (in that browser -- others won't have it cached, yet).

Not certain, but I would assume so since the order just went out yesterday (Monday).

"Hezbollah’s leadership and Nasrallah are at the heart of the battle ..."

Translation into reality-based language: They are hiding because they are scared sh**less.

"We will never leave, even if Lebanon is reduced to scorched earth.

Translated: We don't give a damn about Lebanon, we'll just move elsewhere when things get too hot.

I see you understand Arabic...i understood the same thing...Debka is saying that Nasrallah and co. are hiding in the Lebanese panhandle...but I'll wait for another source on that..

On that note, I think I'll go to bed, and pray. Pray that God will not let this continue, and that He will stir the hearts of the men in charge in Israel and the U.S.,to stand strong and defeat this evil, once and for all.

Goodnite, all. And thanks for these threads. Very informative.

Anyone besides me notice pattern to Hezb's premier rocket barrages?

Seem to happen right about the time the average American flips on the tube to watch the morning news? I thought Saddam was playing to the crowd back in ODS, firing Scuds timed with prime time evening viewing, but I don't see the point if Hezbollah's trying to leverage the same idea.

Of course, state sponsored terrorists may not get up till 11 am, have a cup of joe, read Al Quds, then head out to light off bottle rockets...still...any pattern may be open for exploitation, if you understand the reasons behind that pattern...just a thought.

I think you may be on to something.

Now that I think about, I can remember hurrying home every night during ODS in order to "watch the war".

More info:

Ynet news reports that the Ministry of Defense has called up 3 brigades of reserves to relieve regular forces in Judea and Samaria, who in turn may be redeployed north.
